Better Mus' Come Youth & Community Screening
CaribbeanTales Youth Film Festival (CTYFF) and TIFF join forces to celebrate Black History Month, with a presentation of Storm Saulter's award-winning film Better Mus' Come, part of a special TIFF screening series entitled "Music, Magic, Clash: New Voices in the African Diaspora".
Set within the politically turbulent turf wars of 1970ís Kingston, Jamaica, Saulterís film tells the story of the Green Bay Massacre, a landmark in Jamaica's political history, and a young gang leader who must choose between fighting for his tribe and making a better life for his five-year old son. Hailed as "heralding a new era in Jamaican filmmaking", Better Mus' Come is currently on a successful festival tour and most recently won the Audience Award at the highly regarded Bahamas International Film Festival.
On February 4 at noon, a fundraising Gala Caribbean Brunch at TIFF Bell Lightbox will recognize the 50th Independence Anniversaries of Jamaica and Trinidad, including the Canadian premiere of Better Mus' Come, hosted by Cameron Bailey.
On February 5 at 3:45pm, Bailey will host a Youth and Community screening of Better Mus' Come.
Tickets are available at tiff.net and CaribbeanTales-events.com.
