D'Bi Young: Blood, Dub and the Matriarch
Literature Alive is a 26-part documentary series that profiles Caribbean-Canadian authors and follows the evolution of Caribbean heritage fiction from the 1960s through to the hip-hop generation. In this part, dub poet D'Bi Young shares the screen with her mother, Anita Stewart, and emphasizes the importance of family and heritage in her work. This influence is obvious as we travel with D'Bi to Cuba for a fierce and moving live performance. Anita Stewart proves to be a formidable storyteller in her own right, as the two women explore their bond, their history, and their shared belief in the power of poetry.
