This Documentary of Kingston Shows Inside Look Into The 2 Sides Of Jamaica’s Capital – Watch Video

Jamaica is known globally for its rich cultural heritage and vibrant music scene, but there is one area that often encapsulates all the above plus more – Kingston. This new documentary aims to put a spotlight on this diverse district and offer viewers a unique perspective on life in the heart of Jamaica’s capital city.

The documentary takes viewers on a journey through the narrow streets and colourful alleyways of Downtown Kingston, showcasing the hustle and bustle of daily life. The presenter meets with locals who share their stories and experiences, offering insights into the challenges and triumphs they face in this dynamic urban environment.

From the iconic Waterfront to the vibrant street markets, the documentary done by Indigo Traveller on YouTube captures the essence of Kingston during the daylight. The presenter explores some of the dangerous areas that tourists like himself are told not to traverse, as well as some of the most affluent and peaceful communities.

In the 25-second-long video, viewers get a front-row seat to the vibrant street vendors that make Downtown Kingston a must-go area regardless of the dangers attached to the area. It was only fitting that a standout individual in the documentary was from Downtown.

At one point, the multitalented vendor can be seen performing his remix version of Teejay’s mega-hit Drift to advertise his merchandise.

But beyond the music and entertainment, the documentary also delves into the social issues that plague downtown Kingston.

It highlights the struggle for economic opportunities, the potential of crime and violence erupting at any moment plus the need for community development. Through powerful interviews and striking visuals, the film paints a comprehensive picture of life in this complex urban landscape.

In conclusion, the documentary shows that there are two completely different sides of Kingston.

As the lens of the documentary left the hustle and bustle of the commercial districts, it set its focus on the wealthy neighbourhoods of upper Kingston and areas of St. Andrew, particularly Beverly Hills, which showcased a different reality of life in Downtown, Kingston.
