Beverley Manley Uncensored: An Intimate Portrait of a Jamaican Icon Part 2 of 4 - Krátké a kreslené filmy
So happy documentaries like this are being made to show and teach the uninformed and future generations.
Hopefully with your support and the support of the community by watching and talking about it! We can make more with even greater production values, and also tell more obscure stories! Each view and comment like this does so much in allowing us to do more things like this! Thank you so much Karl
@@AdtelligentTV You are absolutely welcome,quality content must be fully supported. Continued growth and success.
@@AdtelligentTV Now we need a documentary showcasing Seaga's love affair with the CIA.
Michael Michael was the best leader and Prime Minister Jamaica 🇯🇲,outstanding woman Beverley Manley, I enjoyed this talk,
I went to Nanny Day Care Center and Jamaica House Basic School. This is one of the gifts that my father blessed me with. Thank you so much, Honorable Beverly Manley. The mindset influenced my dad so much and it also changed the trajectory for a generation of women in my family.
I did not feel inferior being of a darker hue, and very early in life, my father taught me to love my natural hair.
I was empowered!
Can't wait to show Bev that comment! please show your kids and let them know this story too :) we recorded it in video so this knowledge could permanently transfer to the young people of tomorrow before it was forgotten :) ! too many positive stories of our country are forgotten
This wonderful woman is a living treasure. I am enthrall with her spitting knowledge. I just luv her.
As a former member of the PNP women’s movement, this brings back so many beautiful memories. So glad to see you still going strong Comrade Manley.
Hi Norma please share the documentary with your friends from the movement so they can bring back those memories too :)
Beverly was just beautiful and educated!
Such a intelligent lady.
So what are u now a part of the pnp women bowel movement.
wow, what was it like being a part of that? it seems so interesting, and something that could be brought back for my generation.
This was so good I pray the day God gives Jamaica another Michael Joshua Manley and Beverly as leaders who whole heartily care for the people and their well-being and want to see a country that flourishes.
Really now? U seem to forget the dismal economic period under his regime….just ask the hundreds of thousands of people who fled Jamaica…no one wants to bathe with ackee skins ok..so no more Manleys for Jamaica
Me too! this is my prayers as well
Amen
Unfortunately the Americans would never allow it. Governments all around the world no longer care about the everyday people.
Seriously what did Beverley Duncan lead. Because she married politician she is a leader. She destroyed Michael Manley and left him dying with cancer.
I thank God that the history of Michael and Beverley Manley is been documented so that future generation will learn about our history and the enormous contribution they have made to Jamaica development.
They bridged the gap between "uptown" and "downtown", a movement needed at the time when Jamaica was defining itself after centuries of colonialism and inequality. She's truly a Queen. A wonderful history, indeed.
I have so much emotions?watching this cause I lived during that time. I benefited from the free education and was able to lift myself out of poverty. Love JAMAICA SOO MUCH.
We are so happy to hear that! That was exactly what we wanted to feel! We hope you stay for part 3 and 4 :) ?
The realness are genuineness of this giant of a woman are beyond mere words. There were many important policies that were advanced and implemented that I had no idea she played such an integral part. Jamaica salutes you Mrs Beverly Manley- Duncan on this day, our 60th year of political independence! Long live Jamaica and all those who played a pivotal role in shaping our national identity!
So glad you got to watch it on Independence Day 😁 bev is 80 and jamaica is 60, their stories intertwine as she is a child of the soil that was formed by the experiences of an average person in jamaica before jamaica lead herself. But 8 short years after jamaica was made independent bev made here way to the top to be able to influence the direction of the nation. Specifically seen here with the difference of Insight on the bus Raise and the understanding the effect of 1 cent reprice difference. We all impact each other and the country based off experiences.What a joy to share and talk about a story about one of us on a day like this 😁 maybe it will impact some future leaders later on
@@AdtelligentTV Wonderfully said,I eagerly await the next episode of this gem of a documentary.

How can we forget Micheal Joshua Manley; a man above men a leader like no other. Jamaica needs one like him desperately now
I'm just enjoying this documentary. My love for this couple has never wavered. These two individuals loved Jamaicans.
Hoping that your love has increased a bit and maybe you can pass on this love through to your children and friends who weren’t there at the time to experience it 😁 many of us on the production learned about this period by doing this work.
I cannot describe how proud I felt as a young , black girl when Beverly Manley wore her afro instead of the usual false drop curls to her wedding. So many exciting changes were taking place in Jamaica and the world and her confidence and leadership was so encouraging! I remember her coming to my school ( Knox College) to speak and we all just sat there in awe of not just what she was saying but also her captivating smile !
As a child was enthralled by Michael Manley budget speeches, to this day no one has been able to engage my attention. Messianic leader was correct, no wonder they called him Joshua. Thank you Bev for being & providing the grounding & influence that galvanized so many ordinary Jamaicans during a period when we truly believed "WE CAN". I am so fortunate how that period, with the great visionary leadership, as shaped my mindset.
Is this the same man Lee Quan Yew of Singapore said reminded him of Don Quixote!!🤔🤔
Come back for part 3! 😁
Micheal Manley, the man that introduced communism to Jamaica and triggered the greatest brain drain and financial flight the country has ever seen…smooth talker but wreaked havoc on the country with his political and economic policies
So eloquently narrated. I enjoyed listening to every word, every phrase and every sentence.
Wow, this woman was way ahead of her time!! So inspirational.
Really loved both PM Manley and the awesome Mrs B Manley. Her influence is beyond words.
One of the most needed and most important with the greatest black woman who was the backbone of Jamaica's greatest Prime Minister.
Another fascinating and informative episode. 😍 If we don’t learn our history we will keep making mistakes. Congrats team on part 2.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
MRS B MANLEY U DID WELL FOR J.A. DEVELOPMENT BUT SOME TIMES WE ARE BLIND. OR SCARED TO MAKE CHANGES U DID WELL THANKS.
Just brilliant. I am happy to learn about Beverly’s role in our development.
Thoroughly enjoyed these documentaries and Beverley is still so beautiful at her age .....lots of blessings ❤🙏🏽
This documentary has really impressed upon me the realness of a national consciousness and, how individual lives ripple out into the collective. And to see Beverley, a poised, conscious, black, Jamaican woman who's left such a legacy for my generation, gives me great inspiration. And to learn too that she was born only a day after me. A true Scorpio woman! It all makes sense. A timely trove for Jamaica 60. Well done!
This comment moves us ! Thank you so much for your kind words. The whole production team and Beverley are appreciative
@@AdtelligentTV Makes me want to read her book all over again. And I already did recently. She is also, by the way, an excellent writer. That book was scrumptious, so well written!
@@sharlenehendricks4268 The same here!
@Adtelligent, I am going to be sharing this video with my dad as well my uncles. My dad is in his 70s. He is going to be elated!
@@NKAYLA As you should. We all should do our best to disseminate this relevant and necessary documentary, to as many folks as possible!
Just love listening to her.Growing up through that era was good for young people.There was so much to emulate and lots of role models.Beverly Manley was one of them.
There's a saying that behind any successful man, there's a strong woman and Beverly Manley you're that woman...bless you..🙏
Beverly Manley you are looking so Beautiful, Michael Manley was the best prime Minister Jamaica 🇯🇲ever had I was ( 17 ) years old when he win the election ( 19 72 ) that was a jubilee oh my God, I was living at Kingston ( 11 ) that was the good days
This is a valuable look inside a very important decade of Jamaican history. Many have told the tale, but it's good to hear it in Beverly's own words.
Cannot believe that Beverley Manley Duncan is still so very beautiful ! I have been away from Jamaica for forty odd years but still remember my always wanting to be like her. She is truly a Jamaican legend, may God continue to keep her heart pure !
Very good history lesson for all in the Caribbean. Thanks for this interview with an icon of Jamaica. Watching from Trinidad.
Very fascinating woman. A national treasure. I'm reading her memoirs right now...
Did the documentary spur you to read or weee you reading her book from before ?
@@AdtelligentTV I was reading the book before
Love it well on part 3 and 4 where we go through dk, cia, Castro. Crumblings of Manley. Let us know what you think compared to the memoirs. Ultimately it’s all the same factual story just being told differently 😁 but you would bring a deeper knowledge when watching! So would love to know your thoughts
@@AdtelligentTV Oh yeah, I will comment on it. I can't wait to see parts 3 and 4
Teaching Jamaican modern-day history. Informative and Enjoyable!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🇨🇦🇨🇦
Bless you Beverley for imparting this knowledge unto the next generation. Your vision of assessing the needs of women and showing them the power within is extremely instrumental in a forward movement.
Thank you for continuing to unearth, unpack and uproot the rich history about post -colonial Jamaica with such clear insights , through the lens and voices of those who shaped the history.
I'm so happy that Beverley has finally come out to reveal her truths from her own perspective. This is what understanding and balancing the different forces that participated in history is all about. Very clear, very intelligently done, very informative and most of all very insightful.
Thank you Mrs Beverley Manley -Duncan..I realized my dream from the free Education System.
Michael and Beverley were the best that Jamaica ever had/have. They left a lasting impact on Jamaica that will last for generations.
I love this woman - such a fierce, natural advocate. Grateful for this series to learn this chapter of JA history
Totally enjoyed this . Beverly certainly has a good memory and my oh my she's very sharp and she articulated well . So proud 👏of you and your contribution.
Glad you enjoyed it :) Have you watched part 2 and 3 yet?
I believe these stories should be introduced to Our high in history classes.
Yes absolutely. 👊🏽❤️
I congratulate the young people who did the hard work to preserve such a rich history of our country.
INSPIRATIONAL. Woman of my own heart and spirit.
Love the videos in the credits. The whole discussion on what do we really know about blackness even in our time of emancipendence is very relevant. 👊🏽 Manley highlights some crucial issues for self reflection in our time. Mental emancipation needed. 🎊🎉👊🏽 Fantastic episode. A gift 🎁 to the nation’s youth. 🙏🏽
In 1970 I migrated to the US to reside and attend college. Although I had no great knowledge of Michael Manley, during that period, nevertheless I was quite familiar with the name Beverly Anderson, due to her connection with Teenage Dance Party. Like most teenage boys, in my neck of the woods in Ja., we all had a crush on Beverly Anderson due to her connection with TADP. Beverly was tall, stately and gorgeous with a warm endearing smile. Beverly traveled all over Jamaica with her show and was always well received. On one occasion I saw her in Mandeville, when she brought her show there, and it was love at first sight. Subsequent to 1972 when Beverly and Michael became an item by then I had completed my junior year at Brooklyn College and was deeply entrenched in the study of Marxian Economics and Political Economy. Fidel and Michael, both of whom espoused socialism, became my role models. Unfortunately Ja. was not ready for socialism because the J'can people lacked the discipline and commitment necessary to build a socialist society and the experiment eventually failed miserably. Subsequently in 2000 I read Rachael Manley's book Slipstream and loved the story of how Rachael attempted to play matchmaker between Beverly and Michael. In her own words Rachael describes how her efforts to unite the two became an obsession, and how in spite of inviting Beverly several times to take tea with herself and her father, Beverly never accepted. Naturally this was a reflection of Beverly's character for as we would say in Ja., Beverly was certainly not cumu cumu or licki licki. Rachael further describes how Beverly and Michael appeared to have an uncomplicated relationship and Beverly never nagged or quarreled incessantly. I enjoyed both of the videos that have been aired and can say without reservation that my teenage crush on the ageless Mrs. Manley Duncan is alive and well. Mrs. Manley Duncan I pray that you continue to live a happy and fulfilling life filled with the joy of sex as you have certainly earned it.
We will get her this prayer!!
I greatly admired Michael Manley beginning in my teenage years in the early 70's growing up in New York. I was enthusiastic about sociology, world politics and culture and became accustomed to visiting the home of my Jamaican best friend and looking for the Jamaican Gleaner to read about the goings-on in Jamaica and would absurd myself in the subject of Democratic Socialism, Marcus Garvey, and Michael Manley. At 14ys of age my plans were to move to Jamaica when I became older, give-up my U.S citizenship and obtain the education I needed to get in with the Jamaican goverment to work under the leadership of Michael Manley and the PNP. I really strongly admire Michael Manley and believe if he him and the PNP party would've continued in victory Jamaica andbits people would have been in much better circumstances than which they are today. Back then, some outside forces saw Jamaica's potential to rise as a shining star in the Western Hemisphere and acted with rivals against the PNP to cause caos, and turmoil and division in Jamaica as they also have done in Grenada.
This a amazing, you have done a wonderful job Ms. Manley ❤❤❤❤
Let me preface by thanking the esteemed Mrs. Beverly Anderson Manley Duncan and all who have made this documentary possible. Also let state that Mrs. Beverly Anderson Manley Duncan is categorically a queen, our Jamaican queen and not a queen by way of qualification. If anything, others are white, Asian, et al queens.
What would the esteemed Michael Manley’s impression and legacy have been without Beverly Manley, by his side-functioning as his intellectual equivalent and muse?
As a [First Lady] Beverly Manley stands nonpareil, hitherto, even when compared to our contemporary [First Lady], who herself is in active politics. No other Jamaican [First Lady] has managed, without seemingly trying, to champion and represent interests that not only mattered to me, by we’re requisite for a fledgling [independent] nation.
Though Beverly is, not was, a crusader and champion for women’s rights, one would be remiss to think that she did not function in a greater capacity to inform a plethora of other faucets of the Jamaican society-Beverly Anderson Manley Duncan is Jamaica’s mother-queen and our Winnie Mandela.
It is safe to say that the extremely beautiful and necessary Beverly Anderson Manley of her youth has evolved into to today’s more beautiful and graceful Beverly Anderson Manley Duncan. Her cerebral faculty’s capacity and function are remarkable.
We don't have 'First Ladies' in Jamaica. It is he wife of the Prime Minister!
We are NOT America.
@@juniorh9238 Please note the nuance difference between my use of “[First Lady]” and your use of “First Ladies.” Grammatically, what do you think my use of the brackets intimate?
Love this comment ! Extremely royal
Beverley has certainly brought a lot to those like myself who knew little or nothing about her contribution to our beautiful country. I really enjoyed watching this documentary. It has left me with a better understanding not only of her but the man Michael Manley as well.
I started to become interested in politics when Michael ran for office. Manley brought Jamaica from the clenched fists of Colonialism. Jamaica stands proud today because of Michael Manley. I recalled he said. “Educate the Nation”Under Michael regime, thousands of Jamaicans learned to read…He taught Jamaicans to believe in themselves. He will always be loved .
oh my God! Beverly was a strong force in the life of Michael, I salute this strong woman, am seeing her in a different light.
Michael and Beverly both compliments each other. Ms. Beverly is Beautiful and I appreciate her truth. I wish God will bring up Leaders that has the Best interest of JA.
As a British born of Nigerian heritage this has been an education and got to know aboutvthevwife of MM. What an elegant queen she is. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
As someone who grew up in the seventies, this literally gave me chills in a good way
Real shame those JBC tapes of that era were obliterated. BMD is one of those influential Jamaican women whose work transcended generations. The memoirs of Beverley, Barbara Blake Hannah, Leonie Forbes and Yvonne Brewster are all essential reading for Jamaicans keen to learn how this fantastic 4 impacted black culture both here and in the UK and where their respective career paths crossed each other along the way.
Lots of work to get what we used in the film. It wasn’t as easy to store film as digital! Luckily this film will be here forever 😁 hopefully the story of bev will be told by others ? Is there anyone you think we should do next?
Merlene Ottey would be a good one as little is still known (in her own words) about her journey and the sacrifices, challenges and impact on others along the way. Probably been overseas may things tricky to interview her.
Other suggestions: Yvonne McCalla-Sobers, retired DCP Novlette Grant,
Elaine Wint, Dermot Hussey, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Beres Hammond.
Looking forward to part 3.
Brillant interviews. Sis Bev is actually blooming in her age! Very timely.
Phenomenal woman and example
Excellent love ❤️ this
Very informative I now see Mrs Manley /Duncan in a different light well done 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️🫡
I thoroughly enjoyed this production. Watching this was very empowering. Thank you Mrs Manley.
A wonderful woman of substance who made a big difference....an excellent balance for Michael Manley and at the same time a strong woman in her own right. I so agree will her values.... Thank you....
Your welcome Please come back for part 3 this weekend and tell some friends :)
@Karl Henry. My exact sentiments. Such a change from raw violence and foolishness. A warm well rounded vibes
Thank you for producing this and presenting it
Thank you penny! Please what you can do for us bring a couple of friends for part 3! The more people talk about it the more we will be able to make more things like this ! Thank you so much
I will never forget i was 5 years old when Michael Manley campaign in my community when i was a little girl living in Jamaica and he shook my hand and smile that was over 50 years ago, that was one of the best days of my life that i will never forget. His power & influence was phenomenal. He was one of the greatest priminister and leaders of all times.
Well we are personally inviting you to part 3! that’s the part where the controversy really gets “hot”Makes for great content but when we look back that upheaval was with our own citizens and the direction of our nation. And as a leader he had to manage problems on many fronts.
This has been so educational. Beautiful Queen.
The best and most genuine promise minster ever served Jamaica..
Beverly Manley, you are Mt mentor and I adore you.
The Lord as blessed us extraordinary women and I appreciate every bit of all of them
I'm so hooked on watching this, when is the next one coming out
Next week :) Are you coming back for more ?
@@AdtelligentTV heck yeah! Can't wait
@@AdtelligentTV oh sure. I watch and rewatch these two episodes. This should be on the big screen…out in the town centers. Such depth of information about a woman from her own perspective.
@@AdtelligentTV I'm watching this and just hoping that it doesn't end at part 4. I love this so much, please tell me it isn't 😭
Sadly guys it does end at part 4 maybe we will have some behind the scenes or other shors after that didn’t make the cut but ! If you guys watch and share on WhatsApp Facbeook Twitter etc, however you talk to your friends and families we can promise this dojume tart won’t be our last ! And you can be a part in enabling a local company in getting the support needed to make more local stories
She will always be my Hero since Goin to school n she on d radio met her many times in MO Bay God bless Ms Bev...❤❣❤
OMG I was present, when he held up that rod of correction. You would have had to have been there to understand the love and display of emotion for Jah Mike. Beverley you are looking stunning and strong. I know this is unfair, but we need your voice again....five decades after, because what's happening today is CRAZY. ..."AND THE WORD IS LOVE".
Powerful documentary.. awesome woman behind the man at the time.. blessings...
Thank you much kitty !
I remember Beverly Manley as a little girl when she came to Toll Gate square in Clarendon with her husband Michael for rally. I remember going with my Grand mother who was a die hearted PNP.She is sounding the same.
One love the only Jam PM hi ever love n will always love until my last breath.MR Manley is the best in jam history.❤❤❤👊👊
Always and still look her, her hair how she carries herself, Proud 🇯🇲 Jamaican,
She is always natural
Thank you for doing. Love you Queen. Love the creators for preserving our history but educating those of us who were never taught our right history.
Love it and looking forward to part 3 &4
see you next week! Please bring some friend okay! We are counting on you
As a child growing up in the 70’s in Jamaica i was aware of the PNP party as my grandparents were staunch PNP’s. I remember a beautiful childhood until I migrated to Canada at 12 years old ; however I’ve always wanted to return to my sweet sweet Jamaica to contribute to the country that gave me so much.
so many gaps and cracks in the society, i say all of that to say “thank you Beverly and the team” for this wonderful documentary. This Documentary has reignited my passion and renewed my faith in making a difference in our beautiful little Island. Loved every minute of this documentary and cant wait to see the other 2 parts. Beverly you are soo beautiful and regal not to mention intelligent and an absolute firecracker.
Hope i will have the great honour of meeting you hopefully sooner than later
Thank you!
This comment is exactly everything and more! The whole reason why this story needed to be told and from the lens of young Jamaicand looking back. We need our own icons we need heroes to latch on to. We went there during the idea part when we were forming this identity. So important for these things to be retold in the format that captures the young persons mind and in the format that respects those who were there! Have you shown your children yet? Maybe they can have it as story that we are powerful and dignified
Cogratulations! U are indeed a well preserved Queen. GOD Bless.
Damn she still beautiful right into her old age. Aging gracefully
Beverly and Michael Manley changed Jamaica for the BETTER
Fantastic work! So proud of both of you.
Grew up in both of their era love ❤️ Michael Manley he has my brother’s name also his birthday month is same as mine and his day is a day before mine he was a great prime minister and everyone love Beverly sooo much🙏🏿🙌🏾👏🏾❤️🤗🇯🇲🇺🇸
I just love this lady!
“A child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.” African proverb.
YES , JAMAICA WE NEED THESE TRUTH, BECAUSE BACK IN THE PASS WAS SO MUCH LIES ABOUT THE EVENTS OF THE DAY.
I was in Jamaica during this era. I adored Beverly and Michael .The politics of the time was exhilarating. I’m happy that I experienced Jamaica at that time. Pride and joy for my nation kept me there.
Bev should do a movie about her life.
Love it Joelle 👏👏👏👏
I can’t say how much I appreciate this video. I didn’t know most of the things that was said in this video.
Wow...I want more!!!❤️❤️❤️
Love this!!! Looking forward to seeing more ☺️👏!!!
Thank you so much Melissa can’t wait to have you back next week ! For part 3

Blessings Beverly 🙌
Can’t wait for part 3!
Very much appreciated...Thank you.

We love women like you to guide the male forward for the women and poor, love
Fantastic that these documentaries are being done. Pls also focus on some women who have been in the background but who were themselves the silent movers and shakers..Do your research pls.. you will love those stories even more.
Jamaica has change so much, I remember those days, it was good, not saying it is not good now but differently, different generational changes, and it’s not in a good way,more educated people,but if you can’t show off materially you are nothing, it all comes down to class
Beverley as a child i was just enthralled by you
New subbie today as i saw her name I immediately subscribe also loved their daughter Natasha wonderful family all Jamaicans loved them 🙏🏿🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️🤗🇯🇲🇺🇸
No...many many despised them.
I remember.she has put Michael in one of the lowest spot you could ever put a man.He was totally defeated by her infidelity with his junior minister.
Very powerful & inspirational woman 👁♥ 💋
Yes. My mother was a 'maid' who wore a black and white uniform and walked through the back door. Oh yes. She told me about it.
Brilliant!
True! Say what you want to say and be real
