Church and Dancehall in Jamaica from 'Everblessed' (dir. Jeremy Relph + Nile Saulter)

'Jeremy Relph is best known for reporting on conflicts across the globe for The New Yorker. For his latest project, the Canadian journalist teamed up with Kingston-based director Nile Saulter to explore a more spirited subject—the connection between church and dancehall culture in Jamaica. Here, he talks about how the project came about:  “On the surface, the worlds of church and dancehall are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Everblessed is a meditation on the sacred and the profane and the thin line between them."' -- +NOWNESS
