Is Just A Movie

In Trinidad, in the wake of 1970''s Black Power rebellion, we follow Sonnyboy, Singer King Kala, and their town''s folk through experiments in music, politics, religion, and love—and in their day-to-day adventures. Humorous and serious, sad and uplifting, Is Just a Movie, is a radiant novel about small moments of magic in ordinary life.
