"Culture Clash on the Front Line" Jamaicans in st Pauls, Bristol, England

Borja Cantera's documentary "CULTURE CLASH ON THE FRONT LINE" is the story of Jamaicans in Bristol.

Narrated by local poet Miles Chambers, "CULTURE CLASH ON THE FRONT LINE" covers the last six decades of what is now the second largest Jamaican community in the world outside Jamaica. Featuring key members of the St Pauls community "CULTURE CLASH ON THE FRONT LINE" is an emotive and intense story in which subsequent generations of Jamaican descendents go through a process of reconciliation with their past on which to build a positive future for themselves and the proud, colorful anomaly that is St Pauls.


This is the first time I see this Video. It's interesting how much it parallels my
experiences in North America. We really do need to understand that we are
not alone in our struggle to cast off the chains of racism. Every positive
thing each of us do is a step in the right direction for all.
