Welcome to JAMAICA - one of my favorite countries in the Caribbean. This island is full of life, culture, beaches, and reggae music, and it makes for an excellent vacation destination... However, there's a darker side of Jamaica that exists among the local population. In recent years, the nation has emerged as one of the most dangerous in the Caribbean with gang violence and political turmoil in the slums areas. In this story, I went deep into a dangerous slum called Flankers in Jamaica's second-largest city (Montego Bay) to document street life and see what kind of people live there.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this story - does it change the way you see Jamaica? Let me know in the comments down below!

PS I really love Jamaica! This is my 2nd trip here and when it comes to culture and vibes - there is no better place in the Caribbean. I made this video because I was curious about the real street life, far away from the tourist traps, and I’m really glad I did. Because the people everywhere in this country are amazing!!! 🇯🇲🙏🏼🔥

This may come as a surprise to many but I would have to rank the Russian people as some of the most hospitable. Many of the Jamaican people (and people of other countries) treated you well as long as you were spending money. I can only assume that most Jamaicans are in contact with tourists more often than most Russians, Bulgarians, Togolese, etc.

Over 4 kids were killed at the start of the year by gun violence in Jamaica , while they were on their way to school in a taxi that got shot up... i guess all these victims are criminals! Jamaicans are not honest and it's so infuriating. THE COUNTRY IS NOT SAFE!!! YOU think people just going around making up how dangerous Jamaica is/

I'm impressed by Drew's courage and willingness to venture into the Flankers community, an area I, as a fellow Jamaican, wouldn't dare to visit myself! I love how he connects with the locals and shows a genuine interest in their lives, even if it's just for a short time. Drew's passion for his content shines through in his videos, and I'm still in awe that he went solo without his friends - that takes a lot of guts! He's definitely become one of my favorite RU-vidrs, showcasing versatility and a genuine passion for his work.

As a citizen of Jamaica 🇯🇲. Our country is very beautiful. It's true that there is crime and violence here and at times in some communities more than others. Everywhere in the world there is crime....it's just that it happens behind gated community with wall fence. Crime is crime behind zink or wall fence. Death is death. I have friends in flankers they are beautiful people inside out. The government in our country Can do better but the truth is they care more about themselves. Its us as a individuals that should Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery as None but ourselves can free our mind. The youth can be educated and learn skill in Jamaica however most of them dont because of wrong thinking and they lack motivation. Some of the youth does have good mom and dad but they dont listen. "Jamaica is a nice place fi live ". Next visit to our country come to a regular home and see how they sit at the table and eat and even say their grace just like some of you do. Nice video One 💯❤🇯🇲🇯🇲

Jamaica is more than resorts or abject poverty. It’s unfortunate that Jamaica is always dichotomized in this way. There are many ways of life in Jamaica than just those two states. Also, Jamaicans have access to beaches, but it is true that preferred beaches may fall on privately owned resort property or have an entrance fee for the general public.

@l.t.3857 Месяц назад

As a Jamaican, I agree. There is so much more to Jamaica than the two extremes… But it’s these extreme videos that get views and likes on RU-vid. They rarely show the middle or upper suburbs… always either the ghettos or the tourist areas. What they are pretty much saying is that, outside of tourism, Jamaica is just one big ghetto, which is so far from the truth. The ghettos are in the small minority… most Jamaicans I know have never even been to the ghettos… only see them on RU-vid. But let them carry on… most of us know the truth… let them continue to be entertained with the false narratives… entertainment at other people’s expense… that is the current state of the world, sadly.😢

Drew Binsky, please, do a full video on Slovakia. I know that you already did one, but it was only about one little festival in the middle of nowhere, and I doubt that many people who don´t live in Slovakia, would be interested to see it. We have so much to offer, from lovely castles, through picturesque nature, mountains, well preserved towns with elegant, historical architecture, some of the most beautiful women, great food, beverages, and much more. There is so much to see, discover, and explore him, but majority of travelers and travel agencies ignore us, just because our country is tiny in size. I´ve seen a number of your videos, and I know that you know that even in the smallest countries, you can find the greatest of hidden gems, and Slovakia isn´t different in this field. I don´t want to force you into doing something you don´t desire to do, but I am just tired of people almost always turning a blind eye to my country, for being tiny in size, population, stereotypes, or not having a metropolois with at least 1 million inhabitants...

@unruly7516 Месяц назад

Haha your funny, a lot of Jamaicans go to Haiti when they are running from the law in Jamaica, some have even gotten in to problems over there, I remeber I story that came out where a wanted man from Jamaica was hiding in Haiti, so he sent his cousin or brother to go get some guns on a trip from Jamaica to Haiti , the Haitians killed him, the Jamaican that was on the run then went on a killing spree killing over 4 Haitians , then they eventually killed him also. Usually business go smoothly, because of mutual respect. please don’t do that, Jamaican do not fear people and we don’t compare I don’t get why people like to compare to us, Haiti is no joke but don’t compare. If you need me to I can definitely find the video, it’s on a channel called politriks watch, he covers a lot of the gang problems in Jamaica, that was more than two years ago, can tell you a similar story when the shower posie came to Miami and the Haitians robbed a couple of them in a drug deal, the tivoli man came back and killed 5 Haitians, the rumour was it was dudus.

Of all the pictures available online for Jamaica, he just had to use one from Haiti. He knew Jamaicans would immediately notice. SMH. One thing about Jamaicans, we were raised to mind our business. You all are coming for the wrong person… go and tell the RU-vidr to leave Haiti out of it, just like Jamaicans are telling him to vamoose and leave our ghettos alone.

@KimtheBakedPotato Месяц назад

Jamaica is the first country I have been to aside from Canada and the US. I mainly stayed in the resort because I was a brand new traveller but I did get off the resort for a bit and was so surprised at how kind everyone was. I felt this vibe the whole time on the island and every local I met solidified the vibes. They say Canadians are some of the nicest people on the planet, but as a Canadian, I think Jamaicans have us beat. I am already planning a trip back to immerse myself more in the culture. I absolutely love Jamaica
