Step into the heat of 90s Jamaican dancehall culture with this special screening of Dancehall Queen (1997)—presented by Niaflix at the Nia Centre for the Arts.
This cult-classic film follows Marcia, a single mother turned street vendor who reinvents herself into a glittering dancehall diva by night. Balancing empowerment, danger, and defiance, her story brings together themes of survival, style, and sexuality—all set to a scorching dancehall soundtrack.
🎧 Featuring music by Beenie Man, Lady Saw, and more.
