The Head Cornerstone

Directed by Ruth Hammill

1992 – 37'

Synopsis

Griffiths takes his responsibilities seriously and works very hard as a taxi driver in Negril, Jamaica, to support his family. His sense of obligation extends to his siblings, his ageing father and even his deceased mother. As Griffiths recalls a decision made long ago which played a part in his entire family becoming squatters, this film examines the tensions and repercussions that continue to affect his life and his relationships.
