Sister Nancy’s “Bam Bam” has been part of our collective consciousness for over 40 years, but what do we really know about her?
This fun, inspirational documentary showcases Sister Nancy's resilience through dynamic tour performances, interviews, archival footage, and reenactments. In an industry notorious for silencing female artists, Sister Nancy is hell-bent on empowering others with her music and knowledge to make a difference—proving that good music can't be stopped!
"For reggae/hip-hop fans, this is a must-see proposition; for the uninitiated, it’s a great introduction to a formidable female artist. Kudos to director Duke for a film that will appeal to both." - Liz Braun, Original Cin
"Sister Nancy might not be a household name, but the beat, rhythm and words of “Bam Bam” echo across every genre. Tracing one of the most sampled songs in music history back to the source provides the groundwork to understand a musical pioneer." - Alan French, Sunshine State Cineplex
