Synopsis by Cammila Collar
This intimate documentary follows a wave of immigrants who left their homes in Jamaica for Bristol, England in the 1960's, bringing with them cultural influences of reggae music and Rasta culture that would become a signature element of British style. The film also looks at phenomena like jungle-style reggae, which had its basis in Bristol and then made its way back to Jamaica.
