*Better Mus' Come to hit Usa*

"Better Mus' Come" is a movie.
If you are Jamaican or live in Jamaica you probably 
already  heard and seen this movie since it premiered 
this past October  in local movie theatres.
But if you never heard about it you need to know
because it's a dope movie  and as "Rise Up"  leaves
another landmark into the Jamaican's movie industry
 jumpstart and will hit the American market  during 
this current month of November.
Jamaican director Storm Saulter gave the movie its title 
from Delroy Wilson's song "Better Mus' Come", adopted
by Prime Minister Michael Manley of the People's National
Party as a campaign theme song during 1972 General Election.
The campaign painted Manley's vision of some sort of 
economic socialism aligned with Cuba, versus Labor Party's
Edward Seaga and his alliance with United States.
Usa didn't want another communist nation in his backyard
and begun a series of wars throughout America Latina and
the Caribbean which left the local communities living in the
front lines in  critical and terrible conditions.
This movie proves the political underpinnings of Jamaica's 
crime and poverty issues with raw authority.
The main character, Ricky, is a community leader whose gang 
is aligned to the JLP and in his community, just one  street  
over there is another gang that is aligned to the PNP,
 the ruling party.

This isn’t a movie glorifying the “badman,” like so many 

other  Jamaican films, it’s really about the cause and effect 

of violence and shows the roots of today’s gang conflicts.

Also it describes well communism versus capitalism, uptown 

versus downtown situation with C.I.A. involvments.

"Better Must' Come" is a dramatic telling of the Green Bay 

Massacre, ghetto life and political deception of that time.

The 1977-78 portrait of Jamaica that comes out is of a country

in the middle of a cold war with energy problems and water 

problems, curruption, murders, scandals, that gave birth to

the violence gripping the streets of Kingston then and now.

The director of this movie had no problem multi-tasking,

being editor, director, writer and cinematographer. 

He was a long time assistant for video director Little X 

and worked in the North American Film Industry but it 

was his homeland that inspired him to create his first full 

length  film about bipartisan conflict (from which originated

the beef Gully/Gaza).

Storm Saulter is also part of a project called New Carribean

Cinema that involves communal film making and surely

there will be soon some exciting news about their upcoming

projects.He took 3 years to ultimate this film and went around

involving people in the local communities where he was filming

to work with the project as security, production and so on.
Check out the official trailer and the famous song that inspired
the movie's title.It's really dope and worth a listening.
Bless!
