For reggae/hip-hop fans, this is a must-see proposition; for the uninitiated, it’s a great introduction to a formidable female artist. Kudos to director Duke for a film that will appeal to both.

It’s a documentary as inspirational as it is melancholy, a tale of tribute and influence and one of the tragic pitfalls of the music industry.

Not just for reggae/hip hop fans (despite un-subtitled heavy patois), portrait tribute with archival, re-enactments, star testimony, performances, like other legendary women in blues/world/popular music, well introduces Jamaican icon to old and new fans.

Bam Bam: The Sister Nancy Story tells the story of an artist who remains larger than life, and her music is a natural offshoot of the size of her spirit.
