For the first time on screen, the story of Jamaican music is approached through Revival.

Revival encompasses Afro-Christian traditions in Jamaica that neither slavery nor colonialism succeeded in erasing.

Three times a year, members of Zion Revival churches from across Jamaica gather at Watt Town, in St Ann parish.

Mostly regarded today with condescension or rejection, Revivalists have played a major part in the shaping of Jamaican identity, influencing Jamaican rhythms as well as Rastafari.

ENG – Watt Town: Holy Songs from Jamaica takes us inside this pilgrimage and reveals a rarely seen face of Jamaican culture and spirituality.
