The festival is co-presented by Caribbean Association of World Bank and IMF Staff (CAWI), Caribbean Professional Network (CPN), Institute of Caribbean Studies (ICS) and TransAfrica. AFI Member passes accepted at all screenings. Opening Night: HOME AGAIN Returning to a "home" they hardly knew, three deportees from very different backgrounds adjust to life in Kingston, Jamaica, after being exiled from their adopted countries. Marva (Tatyana Ali, THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR) struggles to adapt, longing for the two kids she was forced to leave behind in Canada. New Yorker Dunston (Lyriq Bent, FOUR BROTHERS, SAW series) turns to Rastafarianism as he gets caught in an escalating gang war. Everton (Stephan James, DEGRASSI: THE NEXT GENERATION), an upper-crust London schoolboy, learns to live life on the streets. A sweltering drama, this film is a timely critique of immigration policy, but more importantly, a redemptive story about discovering one’s roots. Official Selection, 2012 Toronto Film Festival; 2013 Pan African Film Festival. DIR/SCR/PROD Sudz Sutherland; SCR/PROD Jennifer Holness; PROD Don Carmody, Anita Lee. Canada/Jamaica, 2012, color, 104 min. In English. NOT RATED Post-screening reception, featuring an assortment of tropical-flavored ice cream, courtesy of Caribbean Professional Network (CPN).
