Synopsis
Mada follows three days in the life of a young mother named Faith, her mother, Ethel, and Faith’s son, Luther, living in rural Jamaica, where isolation carries its own sound. As the narrative unfolds, a simmering conflict over Luther surfaces and we are offered insight into two mothers’ conflicting natures and notions about love and protection.
Mada screens as part of the shorts program Strong Female Lead, on Monday, June 28 at 6:00 pm.
