Directed by D. Elmina Davis • 1988 • United Kingdom

This groundbreaking documentary was the first film to explore and challenge myths and stereotypes about the Rastafarian movement, giving voice to the women of Rastafari, who speak for themselves about their relationship to the movement and its development. Poetry, mythology, archival footage, interviews, music, and dance are skillfully folded into the film’s narrative, revealing the journey to higher consciousness for Jamaican and British Rastafarian women. Interviewees include Judy Mowatt, a reggae solo artist and member of Bob Marley’s backing trio, The I Threes.
