<span style="font-weight: bold">MADE IN JAMAICA</span>,<span style="font-weight: bold">Saturday, June 5, 10:00 </span>
This film is a powerful portrait of the leaders of the Jamaican music movement and how reggae in particular became a worldwide phenomenon. It is the story of how the three million residents of a small island nation in the Caribbean took their human experience and turned it into songs full of emotions that resonate around the world. "If you want to understand what is popular music, its power and its role in a postcolonial society like Jamaica; how the songs are able to do better than any study in sociology, translate the sufferings, the hopes, the dead-ends, the revolts, and the energy of all the people, then it is absolutely necessary to watch MADE IN JAMAICA." -- Le Nouvelle Observateur

Based on the novel Le goût des jeunes filles by Haitian author Dany Laferrière. DIR John L'Ecuyer; SCR Dany Laferrière, based on his novel; PROD Anne-Marie Gélinas, Andrew Noble.
