Princess of Steel is a heroic Caribbean coming-of-age story that fuses cultural pride with crucial STREAM (Science, Tech, Reading, Engineering, Arts, Math) education. Set against the aftermath of a devastating hurricane, 15-year-old Brianna Harrison must overcome her debilitating stage fright and the public scrutiny following a personal scandal. When her legendary father is injured protecting her, Brianna is forced to step into his shoes and unite a fragmented community. Using the innovative power of the steelpan, an instrument born from resilience, Brianna, alongside her friends, work to rebuild her community and ultimately, find her own resilient voice.

Princess of Steel is supported through strategic partnerships that align culture, education, and social impact. The project forms part of the STREAM Champions initiative and has received backing from UNESCO Creative Caribbean, with additional collaboration from cultural, educational, and community partners across the region. These partnerships help ensure the film reaches young audiences while supporting learning, creativity, and community resilience. UNESCO, Andrew Young & The Caribbean Culture Fund:
