In the 1980s there was a superb historical film in French (with the English title, Sugar Cane Alley) about an outlying island in the colony of Martinque ca. 1930. In addition to standard rum drinking by povertystricken sugar cane workers, there was a scene in which village children got drunk and accidentally started a destructive fire while their parents were working in the fields.
