Nanny - Warrior Queen of Jamaica

A Screenplay Contest ("Contest") to produce inspirational Jamaican-produced biopic "Queen Nanny" about "Nanny of the Maroons" - the Jamaican national hero and one of the earliest guerilla fighters in the America. After being taken from her native Ghana, Nanny escaped captivity outside Port Royal and escaped with other Maroons to the Blue Mountains. There, she served as a strategist, physical and spiritual healer, for more than 30 years, helping to build self-suficient communities and working to free at least 800 slaves from the English controlled plantations.
