Brown Girl Begins, directed by Sharon Lewis (sci-fi/fantasy movie, 2018)

"OPEN TO ME!"

Blurb: (from DVD cover) Ti-Jeanne, a reluctant priestess, must resurrect Caribbean spirits and survive the possession ritual that killed her mother or her people will die. Inspired by Nalo Hopkinson's novel, Brown Girl In The Ring.

Why is it worth your time?: It's okay. If you're looking for post-apocalyptic Afro-futurism about being badgered by pushy spirits, this will scratch your itch!
