Worldfocus: One island, two Jamaicas and a ‘whole heap’ of difference
I was the correspondent, writer and editor of the video story One island, two Jamaicas and a ‘whole heap’ of difference, which aired on Worldfocus on Oct. 1, 2009.
Jamaican society can be divided along class, language and culture lines. It’s rich vs. poor, English vs. Patois and uptown vs. downtown.
Correspondent Lisa Biagiotti, producer Micah Fink and director of photography Gabrielle Weiss examine the public debate that erupted earlier this year when graphic Dancehall music lyrics and images were banned from Jamaica’s airwaves. The public responses reveal the legacy of two Jamaicas dating back to the country’s slave history.
