Crossroads: Queen of Soca

Olivia, a singer from the slums of Trinidad, uses her talent to escape an impoverished life despite her religious mother’s determination to stop her from getting involved in soca music. As a track she records goes viral, Olivia is invited to participate in “The Greatest Show on Earth” (the biggest soca competition in the country). Will she be able to rise to the occasion and take the title from the reigning queen?


This event is part of Crossroads, a new screening series bringing bold, contemporary Caribbean films to Electric Palace Cinema Hastings. Curated from standout titles at the Trinidad+Tobago Film Festival, each event offers audiences the chance to experience powerful, visually striking stories rarely seen on UK screens.
