The
ALKEBU-LAN REVIVALIST MOVEMENT
Invites the Afrikan Community To
At this MOSIAH COMMUNITY MEETING we focus on the RASTAFARI Movement at its development in Jamaica & throughout the world. The RASTAFARI Movement is arguably the most powerful force to have grown out of the Legacy of MarcusMosiah Garvey.
RASTAFARI faced many trials & tribulation as the founding Mothers & Fathers began to revolutionise Jamaica with aSpiritual Cultural approach to Afrikan Liberation. The inspiration of H.I.M. Haile Selassie I became the object of fear for the colonial/post-colonial authorities in Jamaica and as such, RASTAFARI became the target of violence and aggression.
We pay homage to this monumental work & sacrifice with the screening of BAD FRIDAY.
BAD FRIDAY:
For many around the world, Jamaica conjures up images of pristine beach vacations with a pulsating reggae soundtrack. The country, however, also has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the world, and the population is actively grappling with legacies of Western imperialism, racial slavery, and political nationalism – the historical foundations of contemporary violence in Jamaica and throughout the Americas.
BAD FRIDAY focuses on a community of Rastafarians in western Jamaica who annually commemorate the 1963 Coral Gardens "incident," a moment just after independence when the Jamaican government rounded up, jailed and tortured hundreds of Rastafarians. It chronicles the history of violence in Jamaica through the eyes of its most iconic community, and shows how people use their recollections of past traumas to imagine new possibilities for a collective future.
