Blakk Wi Blak...k...k -- Film Description:
"The bridge built in Blakk Wi Blak...k...k takes its audience back and forth between Jamaica and Toronto in a rapid-fire commute that soon blurs the two places into one. At the centre of this swirl is world renowned dub poet Mutabaruka, possessed of one of the most trenchant tongues in Jamaica. In this fast-paced portrait co-directed by local colleague Lillian Allen, he brings his wit and sharp intelligence to some of his favourite subjects—tourism, Marcus Garvey, true Rastafari, and fast food as chemical warfare."
-- Cameron Bailey
