The screening on Sunday January 27 was a great success! There were about 26 people in attendance, varying in age and experiences with Jamaica and its migrant workers. Some people were very focused on the political and economic aspects of the film, whereas others were more interested on how the Jamaican workers employed in our area are affected. After the film we opened it up to discussion and were fortunate to have two Jamaicans answer our questions and share their experiences (which was terribly heartbreaking at times). Overall it was a great mix of people that inevitably led to a fascinating conversation, resulting in several new friendships which is what GROW loves to facilitate!
Based on the success of this event, we'll definitely have to plan another with a location that is more accessible to Brock students.
