How emancipated are we?
VENICE, 16:"To tell the truth, slavery is not finished in Jamaica. For the youngsters, it has just begun. Let's hope we survive." DHAIMA, 21: "No, I don't think we are free because most of us Jamaicans are still shackled mentally." TANYA, 17: "Well, I do not think we are really free. The government says we are free, but we are not. The promises they make, they do not fulfil."
RACQUEL, 20: "We are not really free from slavery. But, where the economy is concerned, we are better than where we started in 1962." DUDLEY, 18: "Yes, we are free. Some things that slaves would be subjected to, like whipping, we do not have to deal with anymore."
