A Special Screening: Queen of Soca

Bringing the energy, music and spirit of the Caribbean to Toronto is the Canadian Premiere of the highly anticipated feature film Queen of Soca, directed by Kevin Adams and starring Trinidad and Tobagos 2026 Calypso Monarch, Terri Lyons.

The film follows Olivia, a gifted young singer caught between family expectations, faith and her own ambitions. Filled with music, heart and Caribbean flavour, Queen of Soca is an uplifting coming-of-age story about self-discovery, resilience and the courage to follow your own path.
