JAMAICA FOR SALE IS ON TVJ TODAY (SUNDAY APRIL 25) AT 4:30
Jamaica for Sale (84mins) is a powerful documentary about the economic, social and environmental impacts of tourism and unsustainable development in Jamaica
With the current transformation of historic Falmouth for cruise ship tourism, the planned divestment of Dunns River, the planned
development of Palisadoes and cruise ship pier for Port Royal, with various mega sized hotels in construction or in the pipe line, the film Jamaica for Sale is urgently relevant
Winner of the Audience Award at the Africa World Documentary Film Festival, the Bronze Palm Award at the Mexico International Film Festival, and the Rising Star Award at the Canada Film Festival
Special Mention: Commfest Community Film Festival, Gone With the Film Festival, Indiefest
