#TLF23 FEATURE FILM: BABYMOTHER (CERT 15)
7:00pm, Thursday 16 November 2023
Directed by Julian Henriques, Babymother is considered the first Black British musical.
Babymother is a feminist triumph.
Anjela Lauren Smith gives an outstanding performance as Neeta, a young mother who nurtures dreams of becoming a dancehall star with her two rude gyal friends.
The pageantry of the cast’s outlandish style and rich soundscapes – captured on location in Harlesden – make the film, widely considered the first Black British musical, an iconic capsule of 90s British Caribbean dancehall culture.
OFFICIAL TRAILER: Babymother (Cert 15) 77mins
Directed by Julian Henriques.
Babymother will be screened in the BGAC Hub.
