Q&A with director Matthieu Verdeil and Brent Edwards
A thrilling journey in the 1920s, from Marseille to Harlem, via Jamaica, Russia, and Morocco, in the footsteps of the Jamaican-American writer Claude McKay. McKay was a rebellious figure of the Harlem Renaissance, a prominent literary movement of the 1920s -- an unclassifiable author who wandered for more than 10 years in Europe, frequenting the artistic and political avant-gardes. His work ranged from vernacular verse celebrating peasant life in Jamaica to poems that protested racial and economic inequities.
