Jamaica for Sale (2009) is a powerful award winning documentary about the economic, social and environmental impacts of tourism and unsustainable development in Jamaica. Jamaica is undergoing large-scale all-inclusive hotel development and the construction of luxury gated residential schemes for non-residents. This type of development is highly destructive of the natural environment, depletes precious resources, creates social dislocation and adds little to the local economy. The Caribbean is the region most economically dependent on tourism and Jamaica is one of the most indebted country in the world.
