A proclamation, a poem and a prayer punctuated by three trimesters; Black Mother is an audio-visual love letter to Jamaica. Soaking up its bustling metropolises and tranquil countryside, director Khalik 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 shot in variety of analog and digital formats.
An online discussion of Black Mother will be led by Shanta Lee Gander, on Tuesday June 2nd, 7pm.
