Right Near the Beach

Directed by Gibrey Allen

When prominent Jamaican sprinter Jeffrey Jacobs is brutally murdered, rumors about the secret life he may have lived create public uproar, causing obstacles to the murder investigation and for Jeffrey’s father, who simply wants justice for his son.
Right Near the Beach is a quiet Caribbean-set drama about grief, masculinity and a father learning difficult truths about his dead son. Gibrey Allen keeps the tone restrained, allowing silence and place to carry much of the emotional weight.
