Feature Documentary
BAD LIKE BROOKLYN DANCEHALL
94 min | Documentary Feature | 2024
As young Jamaican immigrants across Brooklyn were coming of age during the 80s and 90s they were drawn to dancehall music to keep connected to life back home. Their preservation of key elements of culture through deejays, sound systems, and energetic dancing in New York’s seedy underground provides the unique atmosphere for an influential movement that was bubbling up in the shadow of hip hop.
