Jamaica

Season 2 Episode 205

We explore the impact of foreign and local films on creating Jamaican clichés as either a lover’s paradise or a crime-ridden danger zone. We meet SAS, a spunky single mom fighting for her voice in a male-driven film industry; Justine Henzell, who gives insight into her father’s cult classic, “The Harder They Come;” and Gabrielle, a cinematographer striving to change the traditional narratives.
