Man ooman

57 min.DK/Documentary

The film investigates the culture behind dancehall dancing and tries to find out how this dance became as absurd as it is today. It gives a glimpse at what kind of people the dancers are, how they live and why dancing is important to them. The film is shot in 2007 in Kingston and Montego Bay, with footage from the two most notorious street parties Dutty Fridaze and Passa Passa and interviews with some of the biggest dancehall dancers in the world including Momo, Fleshy and Shelly Belly.
