Rise Up, Sista Kristine Simelda

Two women. Two musical vibes. One song.

Set in the UK and Jamaica, Rise Up, Sista is a story about female friendship and the power of music to change individual lives and popular culture that spans over fifty years. Mercy Mae Williams, a Jamaican reggae artist, and Annabelle Sinclair, a British rocker, meet as young women in London in 1963. It's a heady era-cultural revolution and fresh musical genres explode on both sides of the Atlantic.
