HOMELANDS is the culmination of a year-long project in which four acclaimed British urban musicians returned to their cultural roots, connecting with their homelands to create and produce new music. Mercury Prizenominee Terri Walker travelled to Jamaica and double MOBO Award winner Shakka visited Dominica, while grime artists Diztortion and Saskilla headed to Suriname and Senegal, respectively. This groundbreaking documentary produced by Punch Records
follows each artist as they travel alone, only accompanied by a small film crew, to explore the roots of their sound and their cultural identity. The result is a fascinating story of cultural genealogy studded with rocking and rousing musical interludes. Official Selection, 2017 Third Horizon Caribbean Film Festival. DIR/SCR/PROD Jaha Browne, Tara Manandhar. Dominica/Jamaica/Netherlands/Senegal/Suriname/UK, 2017, color, 73 min. In English. NOT RATED
