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 Jamaica’s turbulent history but existing in the urgent present.

Entre pulsations des rues de Kingston, fertilité de la Terre Mère et sensuelle spiritualité, une immersion en Jamaïque d’où émerge, en un hypnotique montage, un portrait amoureux des voix et des visages de l’île.
