BETTER MUS' COME
Dir. Storm Saulter, 98 min., Jamaica
Passion, politics and poverty
collide as this stunning love story unfolds against a backdrop of
political turmoil. Set in 1970's Jamaica, Better Mus' Come is based on a
violent moment in history when rival gangs were enlisted by warring
political factions to disrupt the democratic process, and bloodshed was
unleashed in the streets of Jamaica. Better Mus' Come begins in ’77 and
ends the in the first couple days of ’78 during the Green Bay Massacre.
This explosive film follows Ricky, a gang leader and political pawn, as
he struggles to navigate the hardships of life in Kingston, and to
define a better way of life for his young son.
