Visit Jamaica travel series turns fourth episode spotlight on Portland parish

Portland brought the team back to the reason the “JAMAICA is…” series exists. From the outset the work aimed to centre residents—their accounts, their toughness, their outlook—and to build a genuine link with that reality. The producers were not hunting for a neatly marketed stereotype of the country. Upland ridges and the sea can set the scene, yet locals remain the heart of the story. Episode four lands that message in Portland.

“JAMAICA is…Portland!” the instalment declares, closing the loop on why the parish was chosen for this chapter.
