Black Mother is an audio-visual love letter to Jamaica.
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.
