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. Clinton Baldwin |

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.

I do agree with u both, I live in jamaica,Kingston to be exact, and i don't live in the ghettos that was shown on that episode, Kingston has a lot more than ghetto!. He could have visited the beautiful parks and garden, didn't he heard of "Strawberry Hill" that place is awesome. Let me say that i have never heard of that cave that he visited.

i have heard that no reservations is all about being real and showing exactly what goes on in a country however this doesn't mean a tv show should show half truths, being real means showing the good and the bad. The bad on this show totally outweigh the good of what was shown. This has been going on forever how american and america have tried to taint the image of jamaica
