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!!!!

Am Kenyan. The msg at the end is priceless .Its not easy to take it easy but take it easy 💥💥💯
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 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 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.
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
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.
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
I appreciate this channel. This is the first I am happy to see something like this so true and informative about 🇯🇲 jamaica.
You don't know how much I love this documentary.
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.
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%
The fine tuning of the wheel is hi tech for sure 🤣 Absolutely love Jamaica can't wait to go back!
Same so me say
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 🎵.

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 🙏
I love my land of wood and water.This documentary has allowed me to fall in love with my island home all over again.Appreciated.
Jamaicans are just so wise..."live a simple life..." ❤️
Just need better government and we'd be good...
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
th-cam.com/video/D6vPUrkGK18/w-d-xo.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 💚💛🧡
Im an nyc street vendor . My father is Jamaican. And i unknowingly built a push cart style table.it's in my DNA .
I loved this. When it was over I was sad. I could watch their lives all day.
Common.man your african same.thing, nothing new there
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.
Good to see our handcart men and their craft and transportation being highlighted. Great transportation especially during the rainy season in downtown Kingston.
Lovely. That's my Island home Jamaica. Oh, so Sweet and Beautiful. Jamaica Land We Love. Love it.....
This is the most beautiful documentary I have ever seen of Jamaica
Thanks for sharing this beautiful and uplifting story about Jamaica and its heartwarming culture...One Love 🔥💞
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!
I see nothing but strength and resilience. Big up !! the comment section, so nice to see such positivity!! #proud 🙌🏾👍🏾🙌🏾🇬🇭🇯🇲 🇬🇧
one love
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.
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 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Everyone in the world love my little island Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🏝️
JAMAICA IS FUN. Greetings from 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 .!!!
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. 👍
This is the land of my birth, this is Jamaica my Jamaica, the land of birth.
Jamaicans are some of the happiest people on the planet,,,
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.

Yes, I love my people. Being resourceful, Enjoying life, and just being free. One love brothers and sisters
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"

Roy Collins is living the life in a very full satisfying way. His spirit is light and thankful to everything around him.
Thank you so much for this beautiful video of Jamaica 🇯🇲 my country, the land of my birth. It was so freaking awesome and refreshing phee!!! Thanks 🙏🏿 again ❤
I love this! My people are so resourceful 💛🖤💚 please cover the Jamaican Easter donkey races next!
This documentary was very interesting, promoting Jamaica in a real sense. Well done l loved it
One Love From Kenya 🇰🇪
Right back at you Abby Choda.
Love my country 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
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.
Simply beautiful…Amazing stuff..I love that nation, Jamaica and her people…
One Luv. Much blessings.
Thanks for showing my beautiful home 🇯🇲 and it's Push Cart culture..cool runnings man🤩🇯🇲
I appreciate how crime isn't the highlight of this video. My beautiful country Jamaica 🇯🇲
This looks like a really old video

Cool runnings
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.
Thanks for highlighting this story ,I am from Jamaica 🇯🇲.
I like the documentary,,,,the narrator is excellent in giving information. Good job.
This video really caught my attention I would love to see more video like this about Jamaica and most importantly this video is very much accurate I am a Jamaican
Jamaicans are very clean people in general.
Jamaica is paradise on earth stay in the slow lane and take it easy love your life style Much love from an English man..
"It's not so easy to take it easy so you haffi take it easy" wise words from a wise man. Respect!
This might be my favorite documentary, nice one🙂👍🏻
This documentary reminds me of why I visit my country so many times. Jamaica land we love, love, love. Blessings and friutfulness to Jamaica land.
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.
I really enjoyed watching this documentary along with my Jamaican husband. He is a West Kingstonian and made a few points of correction such as: Jamaicans call the carts Handcarts not Pushcarts. Also the National Bird of Jamaica is the Hummingbird not the Dr Bird. Overall the video showed so many other things about Jamaica such as the way of life, the beautiful landscape, the history. Good video.
He’s half right it is called handcarts but the national bird is the Doctor bird, it is of a species of birds called hummingbirds.
It also call push cart in the country areas that have alot of hills when it go down the hill you have to push it back up the hill that's why it call push cart because you have to push it
@@dredon8007 exactly so
You can not be Jamaican to not know the docta bud is a hard bud fi dead,lol, its the national bird found only in Jamaica
Stolen from Africa brought to America,and then to the ❤️ of the Caribbean fighting on arrival fighting for survival 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🌍🌎💯❤️👍 Bob Marley lyrics
"It's not so easy to , Take it Easy.." simple words that reverb truth without boundaries. Excellent stuff.
So disappointed when this documentary came to a close, thank you for this amazing production I thoroughly enjoyed it 🙏 my beautiful island of Jamaica 🏝 💙
Great film showing the chill mood of Jamaica 🇯🇲

It originated in Jamaica then spread to the other Caribbean countries.

We need more of this I do enjoy the same narrator as well 🙏🏾🙏🏾
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. 😊💜🇯🇲

Arguably this is the best video I've seen about my country. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.

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
PROUD OF MY JAMAICANS🇯🇲😊
@Andrew Drew TV! Indeed.
Really, really love ❤ Jamaica 🇯🇲 boy!!!.
