JAMAICA’S QUIET STAR…

From Gods Soil Grows A Sugar So Sweet-

Made from a blend of harsh realities, mixed with realness and rough upbringing and finally perfected by the movement, the music, the unmatched cuisine Suga is a piece of Jamaica we all can relate to.

The culture, The people, The lifestyle, The love…

The Jamaica.

. . . . house have a leaking ceiling,

clothes ain’t full of thread, our stomach ain’t full of food.

Told through they eyes of a fourteen year old girl, SUGA is a coming of age story set in the garish garrisons of Kingston Jamaica. 

With a fly on the wall perspective, SUGA tippy toes us into an environment that is not only vigorously dangerous but exhaustingly impoverished and yet and still equally this child’s place of contentment and intimacy which she knows and loves as home. 

This story unravels as naturally as life itself with unwanted surprise and unnatural tragedy taking the first step in a dance that was once choreographed to a beautiful end. 

A young woman must soon take the lead in a tango of a world, she is too young and unfamiliar to be associated with. 

With the weight of the world on her shoulders SUGA shows a competence, comprehension and capability, beyond her age or maturity. 

We have not all been aligned to do amazing things in amazing moments, where fight or flight is the only resort but we all ponder which of the two would be our decision if put in such circumstance… 

SUGA answers this question with a vigor and courage we all wish we held in life.
