Subtitling note: this video has been subtitled using the approved Cassidy-JLU writing system for the Jamaican language. Unfortunately, Jamiekan is not recognised as a language by YouTube or Google Translate. This has led to the contradictory position of labelling the language used in this film as "English" in order to enable the subtitling function to work for the Jamaican language and proper orthography.
