Dalton's Dream
A Storyville documentary that takes an intimate look at the life of The X Factor winner Dalton Harris as he tries to build on his success and embrace his identity in the face of prejudice.
In 2018, Jamaican national Dalton Harris won The X Factor and became the first non-British black singer to win the UK’s biggest TV singing competition, in its final series.
Shot over four years, this film charts a tumultuous period in the life of the young musician, who suffered a traumatic upbringing in rural Jamaica.
Dalton won a lucrative record deal that promised to transform his life, but the subsequent challenge of building on his success and embracing his identity in the face of prejudice - both in Jamaica and his adopted country - is documented in this intimate film about desire and ambition.
