Black Mother (2018)

Part film part baptism in BLACK MOTHER director Khalik Allah brings us on a spiritual journey through Jamaica Soaking up its bustling metropolises and tranquil countryside Allah introduces us to a succession of vividly rendered souls who call this island home Their candid testimonies create a polyphonic symphony set against a visual prayer of indelible portraiture Thoroughly immersed between the sacred and profane BLACK MOTHER channels rebellion and reverence into a deeply personal ode informed by Jamaicas turbulent history but existing in the urgent present
