this film was made by the U.S government because 1972 was a election year in jamaica, and as jamaica is on the doorstep of the U.S, the need was felt to catch the prevailing situation of ordinary life for the average folks of jamaica on film. there is a longer version to this film that has a interview with the leader of the PNP michael manley talking about socialism, something the U.S was concerned about. so this film was made with a political backdrop to it. hope that was helpful to you.

Many, many thanks to you for this wonderful video! I left Kingston, Jamaica in 1969 at the age of 12. Seeing this was simply Divine! Was that Hope Gardens at 9:25 - 9:45? If it was, my memory is not bad at all. If it wasn't, me haffi laugh 'cause everytime me si pawk inna JA, mi seh ah Hope Gardens. Lol. As a child, Hope Gardens was definitely one of my favorite places in the world. My older sisters were students at St. Monica's College (actually a primary school, I think, but definitely not a college) near Hope Gardens and so we often visited that park. Bless up!

I was eight yrs old then. we (my six brothers & sisters) used to take country bus early Saturday morning from Santa Cruz.to reach parade then run over to Carib to watch the matinee. Afterwards we'd walk over to tastee for pattie and custard, Onward to Hope gardens and coconut park. From there we'd take the constant spring bus toward Coconut grove and banana way in Red Hills spend the night go ah church Sunday then be driven back to country by our rich relatives, LOL, and tun on Kerosene lamp and watch T.V in the one room which had electricity. The rest of the house kerosene. Imagine the oldest child was fifteen and no one feared for our safety. Jamaica is much more developed now but what I do miss is the love and trust we had for each other. in spite of our problems, No place betta den yaard. I've never seen a country (I've traveled to many and lived in a few) and nowhere have I seen so many different races mixing and living together and sharing the same culture and proud to be called the same. Out of many ONE, JAMAICAN

Third piece sounds like a heavy dub cut to Lloyd Parks' "Ordinary Man" cut at Randy's by ET. Might be known as Extraordinary Version. Fourth piece is a dub cut to Heavenless on Studio 1, credited to Don Drummond but actually by Don Drummond Junior aka Vin Gordon.

Beautiful era then was for most places in the Caribbean. Life was not violent nor too stressful then. People were respectful to each other ,caring and shared with each other. Folks use to look after any child who might be out looking to do wrong and correct them. Life was more pure and honest then. Love and unity gave people hope then when you didn’t have much. I sometimes wish that life didn’t moved on so fast so we could enjoy those simpler times. Caribbean Living is the BEST, but modern day living has tainted the way we live now.

We gained independence within the last century, during this time honedtly believe we made tremendous strides. There are greater opportunities today than pre independence. Yes we do have a crime problem, there is no going around that. But we compare with america and they have issues of crime too! Every nation has had to deal with issues but the difference is americans remain committed to their ideals in making america the place everyone wants to go to. Jamaica can also be that, the evidence of this is in the striving of everyone productive contribution of jamaicans in the diaspora! Jamaica is great because its people are great.

People respected the elders, the dollar was basically equal to the U.S. dollar & overall quality of life was similar to the Bahamas & Barbados today & everyone had an opportunity to make it if they tried, until... Then everything went down hill & many sought a better quality of life elsewhere. Its a shame how one person's philosophy can change the course of a country.

Most of what Mr Manley tried to do his (Mr Seaga) fellow party members who proceeds him have been trying to do those policies of Mr Manley and even President Jimmy Carter said he was wrong to have followed the lies told to him about Manley and Jamaica what was done by Edward George Philip Seaga was cruel and wicked he set Jamaica backwards and I afraid that Jamaica WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE IT'S FULL POTENTIAL BECAUSE OF THE WASTED YEARS UNDER EDWARD GEORGE PHILIP SEAGA.

Yes in some ways it was and in other ways it was worse. Crime and violence was far less .people had respect for each other, more love. But you can see clearly from the video that the infrastructure was bad. We have more modern cars and technology now. But I would trade for love and harmony over modern cars and technology.

JamDown was paradise from the 60’s to 70’s. Late 70’s things began to change. It took a community to grow pickney. Back in those days, you could travel from Hannah Town to Jones Town then to Rema and Jungle coming down to Denham Town and Tivoli Garden then to Matthews Lane. Everyone looking out for each other because we were one people. Nothing back then last the street dances. The police and people from the communities enjoying themselves. What happened Jamaica?

You can’t blame the younger generation. I think politics destroyed Jamaica; and lack of education. All these things lead to corruption. When I was a youngster growing up, I was scared of election. I didn’t like the excitement and it was very violent. Now living in a different country, I see how beautiful Jamaica is. The government need to take education very serious and no more corruption. Or maybe Jamaica need a fresh start.

It is nice to see a video of what Jamaica was like then. I have been many times from my own will to Jamaica. I plan to go again this coming winter, but nah stay a Clarendon. Di people down deh too wicked, bad mind and thief. When mi go, a straight a some resort pon the north coast mi a go.

I lived in Jamaica 🇯🇲 between the ages of 9 to age 15. 1970-77 I lived at 1 Dorado Drive, Harbour view, Kingston. Attended Harbour view school and St Benedict's school. I was fortunate to travel the whole of Jamaica when I was there. I probably would have still been living there but my Mixed English and Jamaican Family had bad experiences so we returned back to the UK 🇬🇧🏴

My Father was Jamaican but would have been living here in the UK at the time this footage was filmed. I would have been about 2 years old. Its interesting to read all the nostagic comments because my dad used to say that "Jamaica was better when it was run by de British", which is no doubt why he came here. He went home again in 2002 to retire, like most of his generation, where he saw out his final days. RIP dad.

+Jack Brown It saddens me when people think it was better when the British was in control. But what people don't realise is when the British was in control the wealth of the country was going back to Britian and wealthy white British families and the Royals. Blacks were never in control of the country they benefited of the crumbs they paid blacks although they are the blood, seat and tears that built the country and Britain. After the wars and the end of industrial period and the rise of western democracy and capitalism it was no longer the interest of Britian to hold on to sways of the world it was to expensive and inefficient to run so they gave countries there independence - so you think! Britian signed up with IMF and World Bank owned by rich white families and co operations ran from USA and in order to service there debts to the Americans for the support they gave the UK during WW2. So Jamaica finds themselves no longer with the English currency but with the dollar. the trick is about the dollar is they valued the Jamaican dollar at a low value and whats worst the British left remember they're in debt but not for it to hit the British back in England - England clear of the debt agreed by IMF Bank in 1970s and Jamaica to remain as a debt slave to the Americans or to be precise the federal bank of US. The reason why Jamaica cant get out of this debt is because Jamaica receives very very little from every Jamaican dollar it makes the rest services the debt. IMF and World bank dictates to the Jamaican government how they must spend there money. Jamaica is in need of more hospitals, better roads so on. But Any plans to even build a school has to go through to the IMF banks - they say they helping a small black country how to manage there finance. Just remember Jamaicans are servicing a debt that the y did not create themselves. We are all being lied too. Slavery still exist in Jamaica.

PLEASANTGIFFT Good comment. I agree, but the West Indian Federation of the 50s looks more of a sensible idea now. Bustamante help destroy the Island's natural ethnic and cultural ties with the rest of the English speaking Caribbean. Some of the French islands are now linking up with many of those islands (St Lucia, Dominica etc) and seeking to build business ties on loose but historical connections. . Regional blocks, regional organisations, regional trade are the economic realities everywhere outside the region.

Jack Brown this was a British plan and it was governed by the British and I know they don't do anything unless there is something in it for themselves. The idea is what anyone can do with common sense and I give no credits to England. We or I maybe speaking for myself - Black people of the Caribbean's came together as one from all over Africa. Yes I do agree we must form a proper federation a community. But I fear it will never be taken serious just like the African federation by those who are really in control. The Caribbean's are truly stuck unless IMF and the World Bank who's cronies that run it are close buddies of the Federal Bank of America (which is not a legal bank) decides to give the west Indies true autonomy in what ever organisation or federation we decide to create to dictate our own futures. I just don't see it happening unless we have strong leaders like Robert Mugabe and I am afraid no other black leader in this world have the gall to stick there to fingers up at America - with out fearing isolation from the world , credit freeze and sanctions. The people of the west indies can have a better future if we can lead ourselves with out the old historical overseer watching everything we do - like slaves.

Nature -H. D. Carberry We have neither summer nor winter neither autumn nor spring. We have instead the days when the gold sun shines on the lush green canefields - magnificently. The days when the rain beats like bullets on the roofs and there is no sound but the swish of water in the gullies and trees struggling in the high Jamaica winds. Also there are the days when leaves fade from off guango trees and the reaped canefields lie bare and fallow to the sun. But best of all, there are the days when the mango and the logwood blossom When bushes are full of the sound of bees and the scent of honey. When the tall grass sways and shivers to the slightest breath of air. When the buttercups have paved the earth with yellow stars and beauty comes suddenly, and the rains have gone.
