From the “little island of big dreams,” Flight follows Kemar, an inner-city Jamaican youth whose imagination reaches far beyond his surroundings. With an extraordinary dream of flying to the moon, Kemar’s journey becomes a lyrical blend of reality and magical realism, exploring the power of imagination to uplift, transform, and transcend circumstance.
At its heart, Flight is a reflection on what fuels dreams, what challenges them, and how they carry not only individuals but entire communities forward when allowed to take shape. Directed by Kia Moses and Adrian McDonald, the film has been widely celebrated on the festival circuit, earning the Archibald McDonald Award for Best of GATFFEST, The Spirit of GATFFEST Award, Lennie Little-White Award for Best Local Film, Best Cinematography, and the Franklyn St. Juste Award for Best Directing. A moving celebration of Jamaican storytelling and youth potential, Flight reminds us that no dream is too big—and no dreamer too small.
