Summary
`One Love' tells the story of forbidden love between a young Rasta musician Kassa (Ky-mani Marley) and the beautiful Christian daughter of a Pentecostal minister, Serena ([Cherine Anderson]). Drawn together by a mutual love of music, they must wrestle with her father's objection to the alliance as well as the religious and cultural differences between them.
Congratulations must go to screen writer [Trevor Rhone] for so carefully crafting the dialogue an making it easily understood by people of all cultures. The movie began as a stage play out of a story first written by Yvonne Deutschman who in the '70s, developed a love for Jamaica's music and culture. Drawn to the strength and passion of both Rastafarian and Christian cultures, she decided to explore these in film. However, that was not to be and the subsequent stage play was born, touring several countries including Jamaica before it would find its original intent. From early reports, the movie has received overwhealming response from many European distributors in attendance at the last Cannes as well as the Toronto Film Festivals."I would love to continue writing, singing and acting and eventually work behind the scenes in the business," she said. For her, the part of Serena was challenging because, "...our personalities are opposite; I am more outgoing, open-minded and liberal, while she's naive and wants to please everyone. She loves music but wants to acceed to her father's wishes that she sing only for the Lord. But I believe in following my dreams and my parents are very supportive of what I do," Anderson said.See the full content of this document
