"Dancehall Queens". the story so far"Dancehall Queens" is a film that explores Jamaican dancehall culture. The vitality and energy of dancehall, Jamaica's most recent successful export, continues to cross national and cultural boundaries. While its raw, sexually charged displays have earned it a certain notoriety, the scene has continued to flourish-- sometimes in the most unexpected places.From the national Dancehall finals in Holland, France and Germany, to the European Dancehall Queen Final in Bologna Italy, the film exposes a little-known European dancehall scene that resonates with the spirit and
energy of its Jamaican counterpart.Juxtaposing their everyday lives with audacious on-stage performances, they reveal what inspires them to risk judgement from others in their desire to take the much coveted title of "Jamaica's International
DanceHall Queen".Thirty years after the release of Bob Marley's revolutionary album Exodus, Dancehall is set to put Jamaica back in the world spotlight.
