As a Jamaican, this video was very refreshing to watch.
Don’t?! A documentary that’s not about crime or reggae music.
Big up
With all that's going on in the country this a breath of fresh air 🙏🏾🇯🇲
Real medz
Good to see someone shedding light on the positive of jamaica 🇯🇲 I love my country and people 💛🖤💚
Amen
🇯🇲 JAMAICA BEAUTIFUL NATION
Yes, Mon
Big up yourself positive Jamaicans good to see all these wonderful events and all the lovely talented people one love one heart one soul nuff blessings
@@gwenevajohnson4943 definitely and just like the commercial one land one ❤️ let's get together and feel alright come to
🇯🇲 Jamaica and feel alright
This is the land of my birth, this is Jamaica my Jamaica, the land of birth.
I am from Kenya. Jamaicans embody African culture just the way they live. We appreciate how they have always identified with Africa, especially through their music. We are indeed, one people.
🇰🇪🇰🇪
Agreed! One race, one people
🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
🇰🇪 🇯🇲✊🏿
Why is it that Africans normally claim Jamaicans so boldly? Despite Jamaica not being completely African in race and culture... Compared to Haiti which is 95% African in race...N other Caribbean countries, I'm just curious, why are those countries always left on the side
As an Afrikan, Nigerian, it gives my heart joy to see my Jamaican portrayed in a positive light. Much respect to my brothers and sisters of Jamaica.
Thank you, its the same pride and joy we feel when mama Africa is portrayed in a positive light
This production makes me feel so proud to be a Jamaican.
I love my “Island in the sun ☀️ 🇯🇲””Jamaica no problem” is the embodiment of our culture
Nuff respect ✊🏾
You people are TRULY SICK!! not just you, but 99.9% of persons watching this video. Why are you people always so HAPPY to be scrutinized and highlighted in ways that are similar to observing animals? This is no different from the DISCOVERY channel following animals.
Where are the black people with cameras roaming white countries and showing HOW they live, their quirky ways etc etc? There's no such thing because white folks are NOT desperate for YOUR attention, it's meaningless to them...and even if it wasn't, you would NOT be allowed to brazenly show up and start filming and talking about them in this manner.
Most of you have nothing, except for whatever they approve, from mix lineage, interracial marriages etc. On your own, it's ALWAYS mediocrity with the door wide open for ANYONE nonblack to come in and document.
As a Jamaican I find this SHAMEFUL! The film was well done, however, it's the same old story i.e. THE POOR INDIGENTS MAKING DO!! They are not sensible enough to develop a better system. They can only REJOICE for being noticed for skills that emerged out of destitution, or for their jobs of SERVITUDE to tourist. Everyone exploits you!! and you're all happy for that, then complain about crime and poverty. Quit being happy for being world_wide puppets.
🇯🇲 JAMAICA!!!!
think a me alone...
It is heart warming to see something positive about my country 🇯🇲 . Big up all yaadies
I'm a very proud and patriotic Jamaican and when I saw this documentary on my beautiful Jamaica, my heart swells with pride. We are indeed a great, blessed and beautiful country. If we only could live in love, peace and harmony, this country would be so much prosperous. Thanks to you guys for highlighting my beautiful and blessed country. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen
Never seen it, and probably never will. Looks beautiful. Wish I had the money to see it before I die. Bless
Respect
Am Kenyan. The msg at the end is priceless .Its not easy to take it easy but take it easy 💥💥💯
My first thought....(and I know I'm not alone in this)..
Cool Runnings
"Feel the rhythm, feel the ride, get on up, it's push cart time...cool runnings!"
Classic old film, gotta love Sanka and de man dem!👍🏾🙏🏾. Love from the Caribbean
It goes...Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its bobsled time! Cool Runnings!
Indeed!😀

I really appreciate this documentary. I’m half Jamaican and I really like history. However, finding good documentaries about Jamaican hasn’t been easy. I’d always love to learn more.
Just keep on youtubing and you'll find something positive on Jamaica. There are many vloggers who do an excellent job. Drama, comedy and history are plenty.
Jamaicans are very clean people in general.
The fine tuning of the wheel is hi tech for sure 🤣 Absolutely love Jamaica can't wait to go back!
Same so me say
Im an nyc street vendor . My father is Jamaican. And i unknowingly built a push cart style table.it's in my DNA .
This was so entertaining my parents are from Jamaica 🇯🇲 it’s lovely to see videos like this showing the beauty of the country thank you
Hey
Jamaicans are just so wise..."live a simple life..." ❤️
Just need better government and we'd be good...
Jamaicans are some of the happiest people on the planet,,,
I'm here in Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪 East Africa and I have always had Jamaica in my heart 💓. And I have been promising myself that one day I'd visit my long time brothers and sisters and have some good times and listen to some good reggae music 🎵.

One of the best documentaries I’ve seen of Jamaica 🇯🇲 Love my people 👏🏽 “ out of many we are one” never forget the Jamaican motto no matter where I go in this world 🙏🏽
Sweet Sweet Jamaica 🇯🇲
As a Jamaican this was a very refreshing video to watch. I appreciate this video because it sheds light on the positive things Jamaicans do and our lifestyle and not focus only on the negative.
Jamaica, land I love. Been there 7 times but the excitement of when my flight touches down at NMIA never wavers. Jamaica, land like no other.
ONE LAND ONE HEART LET'S GET TOGETHER AND FELL ALRIGHT COME TO 🇯🇲 JAMAICA AND FEEL ALRIGHT
So true...that feeling nevar gets old no matter how many times one visits....its something so special
JAMAICA IS FUN. Greetings from 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 .!!!
The wonderful thing that is not mentioned here, is that most of these ones this video concentrated on own their own homes, even if it is just one single room.
As I Yardman, I approve of this documentary
me tu.
You don't know how much I love this documentary.
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 we need to bring back these type of things that brings the communities together our traditions have gone so far away from the good old days this documentary was so excellent and brought back memories of my childhood 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
It's simple : keep the foreigner out. As a black American. All of them.
I appreciate this channel. This is the first I am happy to see something like this so true and informative about 🇯🇲 jamaica.
Loved this Documentary; Love Jamaica and the people are Beautiful; been there 10 times. ONE LOVE❤️💛💚
Hope you come again and again beautiful 😍
Been there at least fifteen times and even lived there for a few months once. I adore that country and the people. It’s a heavenly place.
Thanks for coming.
one love to my brothers and sisters of Jamaica, much love from Kenya 👊👊
🇯🇲❤️✊🏿
lets be real.. for jamaica being such a small little country they made a huge impact on the whole world with reggae (bob marly) to dance hall... the whole culture...they are just cool as cool can get as a people.. rastafari lead the way
czcams.com/video/D6vPUrkGK18/video.html
☮️🕯️💯😎 cool
"...a small little country..." 🙄I'll forgive you for saying this because you don't know Caribbean history. We are the largest of all Caribbean islands with a vast expanse of huge mountain ranges and sea scrape.
Jahhhh!!! Rastafari 💚💛🧡
One Love From Kenya 🇰🇪
Right back at you Abby Choda.
However humble or insignificant, broad and sophisticated about Jamaica, I love it. If it's not a crime I will enjoy every second of time soaking in this beautiful island with its happy and proud people. Love Jamaica 🇯🇲.
Give and take.bro
Despite not having much they seem so much happier and relaxed compared to people here in the US.
That is exactly the reason, they value other things in life
They're in the friggin Caribbean... Ofc they're happier.
My mom travelled to Jamaica and was walking around the resort, a cool older Jamaican dude told her “irie, slow down, you’re here to relax ❤” and she took the rest of her vacation with that mind set. They are much happier over there. - from a Canadian
Despite not having much? Life is everything
"A person with everything, literally has nothing. Yet the person who has nothing, has absolutely EVERYTHING"

Awesome documentary on Jamaica & the culture of push carts.
What is really pleasing to me is to see a documentary that includes my town "May Pen" being shown in a positive light.
THANK YOU!!! 100%
Lovely. That's my Island home Jamaica. Oh, so Sweet and Beautiful. Jamaica Land We Love. Love it.....
Good to see our handcart men and their craft and transportation being highlighted. Great transportation especially during the rainy season in downtown Kingston.
Jamaica is green and will forever be green.
Jah guide and Bless Jamaica.

Love my little paradise 🇯🇲🥰Love ❤️ my people dem! JAMAICA land we love!!🇯🇲🇯🇲BEAUTIFUL DOCUMENTARY 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Jamaica land we love 🇯🇲
Really enjoyed this documentary and viewing the passion and vibrancy of the Jamacian culture💛💚❤ I loved how the guy that was interviewed throughout the program talked about how a simpler way of life is the key to happiness and gives less of a headache. That is exactly the sentiment I am attempting to live by although, it is not an easy task here in the UK. I gave up my house in October of last year and have been living in my tiny van home every since. Nothing makes me happier than collecting wood for my woodburner and worrying about the challenges of survival (i.e keeping warm in the winter, having water, eating and finding a place to shower) over the inherent stress and unnatural expectations that modern-day society places on us. Wise words from a very handsome man 🙌!!!
We welcome you all to Jamaica 🇯🇲 any time u want to come to our beautiful Island 🏝 one love ❤ to all no matter what colour u are 🙏
Love my country 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thanks for sharing this beautiful and uplifting story about Jamaica and its heartwarming culture...One Love 🔥💞
Everyone in the world love my little island Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🏝️
Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its bobsled time! Cool Runnings!
Cool runnings
This is the most beautiful documentary I have ever seen of Jamaica
The man living on the beach, Roy Collins is such a humble good example for everyone. He is truly rich and at peace living a simple fulfilling life sharing his bounty with others. Beautiful country and people!
It’s wonderful to see another aspect of the rich Jamaican culture being showcase. As a Jamaican I appreciate it very much. The pushcart as you say is commonly known as and are widely called handcarts all across Jamaica. Thanks to the creator of this documentary for bringing Jamaica to the rest of the world. One Love.
Very beautiful island ❤
The Jamaican markets and stall owners etc aren't as poor as this video suggests though I have to be honest!
The majority of the people who work and sell at the markets have their own vans and have had transport sorted out for years. Of course there's poorer people who use the pushcarts but it's not the vast majority of them like this video suggests. I feel like this needed to be said. Old school Jamaicans do like to get through a day without having to buy the things/food they need if possible. If they can live/eat off the land for free, naturally then they prefer to do that (but let's be honest that just makes sense unless you're a materialistic person). I highly recommend a vacation to Jamaica for anyone who's never been there before it's an amazing place that's almost a separate and different world all by itself. Nobody gets looked down on for not being a rastafarian and it's definitely not a racist place at all (I'll be completely honest and admit that I wondered if would be less friendly for some of my white friends but no sir we were smoking weed with dreadlock rastafari within 2 hours of getting off the plane.
Real thing blessings for that comment to let people know that regardless of the problems here is a very friendly place to come and enjoy yourself with the real local down to earth people and you get to go to more unique places yeah man real ting yuh nuh💯💯💯
Real talk dem mek it look s way
😅🤣😂
Trust me, though a good amount might own vehicles a lot of those people come in on trucks from rural areas in the early mornings before day light and a lot are from around the city centers in the ghettos and such who buy and sell. A lot get by day to day and don't own their own vehicles. I'm from a rural area but I also spent time in Kingston and May Pen so I've spent some amount of time on both ends of the spectrum. Most market vendors from the country charter vehicles to take them to the market. You are not necessarily wrong for pointing out that other side though, some market people do own their own vehicles . I know one guy from my area who bought his vehicle after a long time chartering, I used to drive for him and help him sell in Montego Bay market. It was a great experience, we use to charter small trucks and drive around the island and sell sometimes. That was pretty cool and very adventurous. I live in Chicago right now, really love it here - the Midwestern vibe is super cool and a lot of the people are warm and super cool too. I love and miss Jamaica though, this was a little hard for me to watch at the beginning. I almost stopped watching, because the nostalgia and the struggle I see tempered by life's greatest medicine (laughter) had me feeling sad. One love still to all, just wanted to chime in with my perspective and insight on the topic. Blessings fam ❤️
Misleading topic.
I enjoyed watching this so much and even though I know of many of the activities of various areas shown, I was still excited to watch. The Rastaman had me thinking of getting on a plane and getting back to the simple life being shown in the presentation. Not to mention the pushcart racing shown and just waiting to see the end, how much pleasure I got from watching.
This was a very good documentary. 👍
it just shows you don't need lots if money to live a happy life. Great video
It's not what you have that makes you happy, is how much you enjoy what you have ... .fi real ..
Amen agree,I tried explaining this to people in Australia but I don’t think they understand fully what I mean.
A top class documentary , showcasing the real and authentic Jamaica and the Jamaican people... just another of the many sides of the island paradise that is my home... "Born jamaican and a son of the soil"
Beautiful Jamaica. The land of wood and water, peter tosh, bob marley and bunny wailers.

I loved this video, LOVE Jamaica ❣️
The original Push Cart race was held in Discovery Bay St Ann @ Kaiser Bauxite( Noranda Bauxite). That's where parts of Cool Runnings was film.
I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. The narrator had me laughing with his dry sense of humor. It's so nice to see Jamaicans in their natural way of life. 😊💜🇯🇲
I appreciate how crime isn't the highlight of this video. My beautiful country Jamaica 🇯🇲
This looks like a really old video
@@cosmicwisdom999 It is. More than 10 years for sure.

It's a very old video but this is definitely how Jamaicans are. Most things has changed
2013- I watched looking for clues and find it at 28 mins, the gleaner news paper
This is not an old documentary the fact that the license plate on the police car is the new one that was charged in 2020 so its very recent
Jamaica my home.
Smart People. God bless You all well well 🇬🇲

I’ve ate ackee all my life, never tasted like scrambled eggs to me. 😜 Doesn’t taste like scrambled eggs to gran or to aunt and uncle. It’s far more delicious. (These people always copy what strangers say).🤪
The Ackee Pod when it is fully opened NATURALLY is safe to eat. However there is a substance in the UNOPENED ackee which is toxic but the substance evaporates into the sun as the ackee slowly opens up naturally - not by man.🌞 The SUNLIGHT SUCKS OUT THE TOXIC substance as the ackee opens up.🌞 Leaving the ackee safe to pick and prepare for consumption.👩🏽🎓❤🇯🇲
I loved watching this, very informative and entertaining in one go. Beautiful place and beautiful people
Great film showing the chill mood of Jamaica 🇯🇲
"It's not so easy to , Take it Easy.." simple words that reverb truth without boundaries. Excellent stuff.
I love my country Jamaica is the capital of the world we have everything good there I love my country so much thank God for my for Jamaica I am not there now I will soon come home God Bless Jamaica and the people of Jamaica
