Re: Anthony Bordain makes second show in Jamaica
As a Jamaican i found it rather lame, it did strike somewhat of a cord with me however. It mentioned some of the inconvenient truths about the course the Jamaican government has taken in allowing Jamaica to become more and more dependent on a service based economy and allowing the construction of the big resorts. In the end, nothing that the Jamaican people do not fully realize already.
While tourism will always play a huge role in the economy of Jamaica it is a shame that the island could not have a developing tech sector or some other substantial industries to provide jobs and wealth for its people. Bad planning and lack of foresight by a series of corrupt governments have brought Jamaica to where she is today.
The question that kept being asked throughout the TV show was "who owns paradise?" The wealthy and well connected of course!
I agree with Kevin, it's worth the watch but nothing worthy of an award IMHO.
