I entered the theatre with an open mind and no expectations and I walked out teary eyed with feelings of immense compassion not only for the characters but for the real people who face and live similar situations in the Caribbean - such is the great writing and portrayal of the characters by the actors. I felt the pain, the injustice, the fear and the fleeting moments of joy.
Shot in Trinidad with the storyline based in Jamaica, kudos goes out to the director and DP for the ability of showing generic landscapes that doesn't give this fact away.
Some people have taken needless issue with some Trini actors who do not sound Jamaican. To this I say, not only Jamaicans live in Jamaica. My take on this is that there is immigration within the islands. People live in other islands for different reasons so therefore I had no issue with this.
This movie is definitely a must see and I hope the producers do a sequel.
