GODDIE is an inspirational testament to the enduring strength inherited from Afro-Immigrant forebears. Set against the lush Blue Mountains of mid-century Jamaica, the story follows Goddie—a young girl who loses both parents and is forced into indentured servitude to pay for school. Struggling with isolation and betrayal, she dares to dream of escape and self-determination, aligning her hopes with the Windrush movement as migration to Great Britain surges.
The series navigates themes of survival, identity, and intergenerational resilience, offering an intimate look at the sacrifices and triumphs of Caribbean women. From heartache and oppression to resistance and renewal, Goddie’s path illuminates the strength of those who dare to leave home in search of something more.
