Tallawah Abroad: Remembering Little Jamaica (2019)

Little Jamaica, a neighbourhood in Toronto’s west end, was a once thriving hub for Black and Caribbean business owners until the ills of gentrification reared its ugly head. Vernal Small, the owner of the 47-year old business Jamall Caribbean Custom Tailor, is now tasked with confronting how the construction of the incoming light rail is shifting the dynamic of his community, changing their future and slowly erasing their presence in the process. 

Tallawah Abroad, Sharine Taylor’s directorial debut, aims to discover how Small, residents and other business owners have been affected and are or have prepared themselves for the adjustments on the horizon.

The film was a recipient of a 2021 Canadian Screen Award for Best Direction, Documentary Series.
