Ford Motor company actually had places there and they were making money, my family worked there and my own father was a successful business man. We moved through the mid 70's and Manley was talking crazy. When I left that place in 78 I was allowed to take $50 dollars per his policy. Looking back at it i see how the place went down hill.

I check my database and found more info on this film, shot in 1913 had a release in 1917!! as a ten reel film set of films from all over the world titled "The Building of the British Empire", this was one of the first glimpses the world had of Jamaica via moving images and was shown in many parts of the world.

[@berthonpowell7366]

+Bwoy Ruff Good research. Where can we see the rest?

[@reggaefilms]

+Berthon Powell I'm not too sure who has the entire set of film right now but the Canadian section is in a UK archive and i'm sure the rest is available as the above video is proof of this! i do wonder where it came from but likely one of the major archives, no official release yet that i know of anyway, i have lots of info on this particular film including a copy of a letter written at the time from the man who made it, with it being one of the earliest films shot in JA but the very earliest Jamaican footage on film i personally i have referenced is 1898 then another shot in Spanishtown from 1903! i've been researching JA films a very long time! The film segment above is 'Montego Bay to Williamsfield', the production company which setup in 1907 specialized in the production of educational, travel & scientific films and they also did a photo sets of the sugarcane plantations and many other locations in Jamaica, they produced short films throughout the British Empire during the 1910's, with the release of a ten-reel film titled "The Building of the British Empire" in 1917 which this footage comes from, nice to see it turn up on youtube!

Shame the JA government tore up the railway system that was built years before independace. I know that it was possible to get a train from May Pen in Clarendon for example all the way to Kingston. Now the car and bus is the only way. They should bring back a state railway system. Jamaica is such a beautiful island to see and driving on the roads in some places is quite an experience!

[@mikesuniverse1789]

they probably did that cuz they were done taking resources out of the country... they didn't want the natives to have the same mobility as they had when extracting wealth to the ships for export... thats what was done in other places for that reason

[@paulrichards4888]

It's because they are worthless

[@daisynelson3312]

Slavery was never abolished! It has only been upgraded in a diplomatic way to make us believe we are free, instead they have expanded slavery in a broader way, the system has been set up so that the black race especially, should never reach any where, and those who did look like they reached somewhere, are still been control by the white man, who later buy out their business or they are left in such terrible bankruptcy, they looses it all. Do not be comfortable and feel safe or try to attached yourself to your property or anything you have for slavery is soon to repeat it self in this so-call modern day world. The only deliverance from slavery is Jesus the Lamb of God, the Messiah, the King and His Kingdom of righteousness is soon to come.

She trained as a dressmakers as was her mother and later her daughter. This generation was handed nothing, rarely complained and took 'mickle' to mek 'muckle'. Mama talked about the 1907 earthquake but it never really interested me...THEN. When she said she went to St. George's, I laughed and told her that was impossible since it's a Boys' School...she went to St. George's Girls' School. That woman's diligence to Jesus Christ is the reason I am alive today and yes, ONE person can make a difference, but THIS pure, innocent Jamaica is gone forever.

Just imagine the size and weight of that camera a d all the huge equipment Needed to make this film and the process involved. While me, I'm watching it 106 years after on a s8plus galaxy. Who would have thought 100 years ago that this was possible. I salute all the great people who have simplified our lives.
