About the event
Part movie, part baptism, in "Black Mother," director Khalik Allah takes us on a spiritual journey through Jamaica. Capturing the bustling metropolis and tranquil countryside, Allah introduces us to a succession of vividly portrayed characters who call this island home. Their candid and genuine testimonies create a polyphonic symphony that establishes a powerful counterpoint to the indelible portrait of the island, which is a true visual prayer. Traveling between the sacred and the profane, “Black Mother” manages to channel the rebellion and spirituality that mark the island's history, giving the film the stamp of a true personal ode.
