TEN CENT DAISY (2022)
Three sisters from a fishing village in the West Indies take refuge in Berkeley, California, following a traumatic event that threatens to reveal a centuries-old family secret dating back to the Middle Passage. A decade later, marooned in a foreign land, the bond between the sisters has splintered, leaving the youngest sister, Daisy—the embodiment of the secret—vulnerable. Each sister is struggling to stay afloat when horrific news from home forces them to reconnect and face the demons that drove them to faraway lands. Jamal Ademola performs as "Otis" in this drama-fantasy film by Lisbon Okafor. Genre: Drama, Fantasy, Mystery
"The tendency to treat people we don’t know or understand differently is all too common, and deserves to be exposed again and again in all artistic expressions." - Lisbon
