Asomgyee Pamoja (along with Arthur Parris) led a discussion after “Better Mus Come” at CFAC last night.
The third night of the Community Folk Art Center’s Caribbean Cinematic Festival featured a showing of “Better Mus Come.” The film, which was directed by Storm Saulter, can best be described as a “The Harder They Come” meets “Boyz n the Hood” (and ‘The Wire’), all wrapped in a love story. To the best of our knowledge this was the film’s public debut here in Central New York.
A lively post-film discussion featured talk of tribalism, senseless violence, and dangers posed by oppressive geopolitical manipulation within the African Diaspora.
