Dancehall Queen

REVIEW
Dancehall Queen is a modern-day Cinderella story with no Prince Charming, but one very strong woman. The film is backed by a pulsing reggae soundtrack and the scintillating sights of Kingston, Jamaica. In the gritty world of the Kingston ghetto, there are few ways out. Fortunately Marcia, a humble street vendor struggling to survive as a single mother, discovers the world of the dancehall. Through it she finds more than great music and hot relationships: she finds a way to a better life. By day, she tolls on the hot Kingston streets and by night she becomes "the mystery lady", the new star of the dancehall. If Marcia can win the dancehall contest, the prize money and more importantly, her own sense of worth, she will finally be free. Free not only of lowlifes like Larry and Priest, but of the ghetto itself.
