Director’s Biography : Molly Dineen was born in Canada and brought up in Birmingham, England. She originally studied photography at the Bourneville School of Art and then at the London College of Printing, but later switched to cinematography. Sound Business(1981), featuring sound producer Lloyd Coxsone and record store owner Blacker Dread (Steve Burnett-Martin) was her final degree project. She then enrolled in film classes at the National Film and Television School, where she studied under Herb Di Gioia and, Colin Young, achieving recognition for her 16mm 1987 debut Home from the Hill.
Synopsis: An intimate portrait of Jamaican-born reggae producer, businessman, father, son, and community pillar, Blacker Dread. Blacker Dread invites Molly Dineen to film his mother’s funeral, opening the door to his life at a time of personal crisis. Blacker faces his first prison sentence and reflects on the issues that have dogged his last 40 years in the UK – inequality, poverty, crime and racism – and why he sent his youngest child to school in Jamaica.
