Only one brown girl, Tracey, has the skill to pursue her ambition of becoming a dancer. The other person has beliefs about time and rhythm, about black bodies and black music, about what makes a person genuinely free, and about what forms a tribe. Their early 20s saw the sudden end of a close-knit but complex childhood bond that they will never fully forget but also never revisit.
Swing Time is a narrative about friendship, music, and stubborn roots. It explores how these things form us and how we may overcome them. It is very lively and profoundly real. It's a joyful dance to the sound of time, moving from northwest London to West Africa.
