A single mother determined to make it as a singer puts together an all girl reggae group named Neeta, Sweeta, & Nastie with her friends. Living in a housing project with little support, the odds are obviously against her. Emotionally she struggles too as she learns at her mother's death that her actual mother is the woman she had thought was her older sister. With the help of a female agent, the group starts to get some exposure and rises above their setting.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
Writer-director Julian Henriquez does a great job staging the lively musical numbers.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
A fresh and spirited fairy tale.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
Would much rather wallow in music than develop the strands of a story.
