This documentary explores the surprising story of how Jamaican music became a vital part of Canadian culture. Set in 1960s Toronto, a predominantly white city, it reveals an underground music scene born from the Jamaican diaspora. Led by figures like Jackie Mittoo, Wayne McGhie, and Jay Douglas, these musicians faced racism and indifference while creating a lasting impact on Canadian music. The film follows Jay Douglas's journey as he champions Jamaican music and finally receives the recognition he deserves, uncovering a cultural migration that made Canada a global hub for Jamaican sounds.
