Abstract
An International Narcotics Control Strategy Report compiled by the United States State Department indicated that St. Vincent and the Grenadines is second only to Jamaica in marijuana production. A British television documentary entitled "The Yardies" has provoked a strong reaction from the Jamaican community in the United Kingdom. Caribbean Report plays some highlights from this controversial British television programme. Yvette Rowe reports on the comments the film provoked from the black British press. From Kingston, Jamaica, Gary Alleyne reports on Jamaicans' reactions to "The Yardies" documentary. Kimia Zabihyan, producer of "The Yardies" documentary comments on why she decided to do the documentary and whether she was shocked by the strength of the reaction, both in Britain and Jamaica. In Trinidad, Peter Minshall, designer and mas man, has won the fight for public acceptance to use the Christian praise word "Hallelujah" as the theme and name of his Carnival band.
