  • Harvard University seeks Twin of Twins

    Kevin Wallen, director of the SET Programme (for the film) and Berkman Fellow, added that The Twins were specially selected because "They are socially connected and they have a way of bringing across the message. So what we're thinking of, is that Jamaica needs to reconstitute themselves. Take religion for example, why is Rastafarianism not recognised as a religion in Jamaica?"

    "That's a laughter in the rest of the world who knows <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">Jamaica</SPAN> for Rastafarianism -why wouldn't Jamaica recognise themselves?" Nesson added.

We try to record everything for the outlets (where it will be shown) like via the Internet, youtube and integrated media."

    Well, anyone would be over-whelmed if a Harvard professor was seeking their help in executing a lecture series.

    Paul (Tu Lox) says, "It always feel good fi know seh yuh work respected on the local and international level, especially pon a level weh most people neva thought they would see a dancehall entertainer."

    Patrick (Curly Lox) also shared in his brother's sentiments.

    "It feels good to be recognised in this regard from the international community. As you all know, coming from the ghetto and breaking the stigma and stereotype that has been placed on the ghetto for many years, dat a bare dunce come from di ghetto because as you know, they have successfully used our ignorance to oppress us and keep us down, portraying being ignorant as fashionable and cool and being ed

    Talk about poorly written.

    When I saw the headline in the Star it grabbed my interest, but reading the story is another thing.
