Join Paradise and the National Film Board of Canada for the premiere of SOUNDS & PRESSURE, a new five-part doc series celebrating the Jamaican icons who brought reggae to Toronto.

At the height of the golden age of reggae, some of Jamaica’s brightest stars left their homeland behind to shine their light in an unlikely hub of Caribbean creativity: Toronto. Sounds & Pressure: Reggae in a Foreign Land is a captivating five-part anthology series that chronicles the musical and geographical journeys of Nana McLean, Johnny Osbourne, Leroy Sibbles, Jerry Brown and duo Roy Panton and Yvonne Harrison. Through rare archives, electrifying needle drops and lively interviews with the artists themselves, directors Graeme Mathieson and Chris Flanagan take you from Kingston to Kensington Market to see and hear how reggae made roots in Canada against all odds.

Featuring a live post-screening Q&A with the directors and all of the artists featured in the series, moderated by journalist/radio host Danae Peart.
