Caribbean Queen Trailer [Video]

Caribbean Queen tells the story of Q, a Caribbean American boy who wants to be queen of the West Indian Day carnival parade. However, prejudice from family and the community threatens their dream and celebration of Caribbean culture. But with determination and the help of their bestie, they may just make it to the Parkway!
