Five portraits of people who relocated to other countries, influenced by music. Born in England and raised in Canada, Maureen Sheridan was widowed suddenly while still in her 20s. In the midst of bereavement, reggae music lifted her out of depression. So strong was its effect that she moved to Jamaica with her two young daughters, and though she had no musical background, before long Maureen was doing much more than just listening to reggae.
