This 2015 video from Britain is called MS Dynamite on Cutting Edge in search of NANNY of the Maroons.
From British weekly The Observer:
My journey in footsteps of anti-slavery heroine
Ms Dynamite, who has made a TV film for the anti-slavery law bicentenary, reveals her pride in Jamaica‘s first freedom fighter to David Smith
Sunday, March 18, 2007
Niomi McLean-Daley first heard of the legend of Nanny of the Maroons at Winnie Mandela School near her home in north London.
The daughter of a British mother and a Jamaican father, Niomi was has always been fascinated by her family’s Caribbean past and wider questions of black identity.
In Nanny she found a black icon who also happened to be a woman.
Niomi is now 25 and better known as Ms Dynamite, who burst on to the hip hop music scene five years ago with her debut album, A Little Deeper.
The singer, who has taken time out from recording to look after her three-year-old son, Shavaar, went to Jamaica for a BBC2 documentary, Ms Dynamite in Search of Nanny Maroon, to be shown next Sunday at 8pm, marking the bicentenary of the parliamentary act to end the slave trade.
She is passionate about Nanny and has some highly provocative opinions about the legacy of slavery among black Britons today.
Jamaican Richard Hart, a Marxist historian, trade unionist, lawyer and teacher, died in the UK on Saturday at the age of 96: here.

dvd: Life + Debt, A film by Stephanie Black
Jamaica, land of sea, sand and sun… and a prime example of the complexities of economic globalization on the world’s developing countries.
With twenty-five years of “help” from the International Monetary fund (IMF) and the World Bank intended to bring Third World nations such as Jamaica into the fold of free market economies, these “restructuring policies” have crippled Jamaica’s efforts toward self-reliant development while enriching the lenders. This scathing film is an unapologetic look at the “new world order” from the point of view of Jamaican workers and farmers, as well as government and policy officials.
Featuring a dynamic reggae soundtrack and a searing voice over based on text by Jamaica Kincaid as well as interviews with former Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley, Deputy Director of the IMF Stanley Fisher and President of Haiti Jean Bertrand Aristide, Life and Debt portrays the relationship between Jamaican poverty and the practices of international lending agencies while driving home the devastating consequences of globalization.
Powerful!…offers the clearest analysis of globalization and its negative effects that I’ve ever seen.—Stephen Holden, The New York Times
