Bahamas Film Festival Screens ‘Better Mus’ Come’

A new movie, “Better Mus Come” is coming out shortly and the movie highlights the problems that led to the high level of political violence from Jamaica’s rival political parties, the People’s National Party and The Jamaican Labour Party, and the politically supported systems of Dons (gang) and Garrisons (residential areas). The movie stars Roger Guenveur Smith as Michael Manley, Jamaican Prime Minister and head of the PNP.

In what has turned out to be a phenomenal year for writer-director Storm Saulter, his debut feature film Better Mus’ Come has secured its place as the only feature film representing Jamaica this year at the prestigious Bahamas International Film Festival.

The festival has distinguished itself as the Caribbean’s premiere international film festival. It boasts Hollywood patrons such as Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage. This year, it features a line-up in which the 1970s-based political thriller Better Mus’ Come is one of only two feature films from the Caribbean in this year’s roster.

Since its opening in Jamaica, Better Mus’ Come has been making waves across the region and the international community. Its most recent conquest was the highly coveted Viewer’s Choice Award for Best Narrative Feature Film at the recently concluded Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival.
