Omega Rising Women of Rastafari

Directed by D. Elmina Davis, Omega Rising Women of Rastafari stands out as the first documentary to explore the experiences of Rastafarian women. It presents a multi-faceted view that incorporates poetry, mythology, and archival footage alongside interviews and music, creating a rich tapestry of storytelling.

Through the voices of women like Judy Mowatt, the film gives insight into their relationship with Rastafari and the movement's evolution. The documentary not only highlights individual journeys but also offers a broader understanding of Rastafarian culture, particularly from a female perspective.
