Babymother

Julian Henriques’ pioneering film is celebrated as the first Black British musical and a landmark of British cinema.

In the vibrant dancehall scene of 1990s Harlesden, Anita, a young single mother, is determined to become a dancehall star. Balancing family responsibilities with fierce ambition, she forms a vocal trio with her closest friends. With its joyful musical performances and bold humour, Babymother is a feminist triumph featuring a killer soundtrack and a wardrobe to die for.
