(THIS FILM WAS PART OF OUR 2024 FESTIVAL LINEUP AND IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON THE SLAMDANCE CHANNEL) Burnt Milk centers around Una (voiced by Tamara Lawrance), an isolated Jamaican woman living in 1985 suburban London, working as a nurse on a maternity ward. As Una takes a moment of solace to make her traditional condensed milk pudding, 'Burnt Milk', she is flooded with spiritual imagery that takes her back to Jamaica.
