Anthony:

Your representation of Jamaica is filled with so much innuendos and mis-represetations that I wonder if you teach your kids to be truthful. For example, how on earth could you have presented that cave which I guarantee you, most Jamaicans have never seen or heard of, as the "safest of the 27 cave systems in Jamaica." That is light years from the truth. Essentially, the strategy of your documentary, as is typical of most media houses from North America was to take the worst possible scenes in Jamaica and portray them as being the entire Jamaica. It's like visiting the worst part of an American ghetto and presenting it as the totality of the USA. By asking "where are the jet skis? the beautiful things advertised about Jamacia on TV," while at the same time showing no such scenes communicate that there are indeed no such reality in Jamaica. That's a big misrepresentation. Why on earth did you only show ghettos? There so much more to Jamaica. Please for heaven's sake be more balanced in your presentation of all countries. Do not through information power continue to spread such propaganda.

I agree, Clinton. I have been ALL over Jamaica and to represent such a diverse and all encompassing thing as Jamaica by going to a beach in Kinston, a cave that no one could get to, a Reggae star that is less acessable and a coffee plantation, is just plain lazy. I expected more from this show and from Anthony himself.
