Surf Girls Jamaica focuses on Imani Wilmot, an inspirational Jamaican surfer who uses the sport as a means of transforming the tough lives of the women around her, in Kingston and surrounding areas. Imani has harnessed the power of surfing to empower these women through training camps which bring women together to learn the mindful art of riding waves.

look i am Jamaican and this is bull no one supports rape it does happen but no one supports it and you can get educated IF you want it, this is missing a lot of context and is extremely one-sided and not providing all information
i know of many women my mother included who had it rough and put there selves through school and CHOOSE not to follow bad company it is a choice to want to not go to school and get pregnant.
P.S-
As a Jamaican I would like to tell you guys to keep the caption off- most of what is translated here is way off lol.
Much love; from LA.
Feature film?
Yes! Feature film - brown girls entering the world of surf competitions and dominating....packed with the drama of human brokenness and the triumph of overcoming! Ryan Coogler, F. Gary Gray, Ava DuVernay where are you?!?!
Thank you Real Stories for bringing this real story - the world really is a big place! Bee Sweet!

I am an American male of color and my only problem with this video is that it's too short.
I wished it was 90 minutes instead of 15 minutes.
For me it was all positive, everything they said about Jamaica, well that applies to every place and people in the world, for the most part.
Peace out dear ones

I am a female and I agree...
There are many atributes both good and bad to growing up in jamaica. But you're responsible for the choices you make and the people you choose to associated with. But as you can see, even the government is taking active steps in rehabilitating Jamaica on many different levels, so instead of complaining, do your part in rehabilitating yourself. " You caan stay pan cow back and cuss cow ".
i'm travel in Africa, and lots of blacks girls surf so !
Jamaican women always seem so strong. They are but there’s a lot of pain when you get to know them deeply because they are not cherished so well. This is the same around the world. Here they are making a strong difference for the future, this is very great.
I've always wanted to go back. To me it's magical. I've always wanted to learn to surf but I live miles and miles for the ocean
I hope I get the chance to
Is this just a movie or are they real people talking about their real life experiences?
I just felt this documentary could've been made to empower women without putting down us Jamaican men simultaneously-- especially when the presenter had great men in her life the entire time.
i know of many women my mothr incuded who had it rough and put there selves through school and CHOOSE not to follow bad company it is a choice to want to not go to school and get prenant. My class mate had 3 sibling who she had to look after and she had no partents and yet she worked to get scholarships and put her self through school she is now a surgon
To date, I’ve never seen a colourless woman! LoL
Inspiring women though! Smarter and more articulate than most women from this region.
You are intentionally taking it out of context, she can not know how black women outside Jamaica behave, it’s pretty clear she is talking about the women in her area, she is not in America, London, .... so she can not be talking about them.
Just because YOUR limited understanding doesn’t accommodate the nuances that differentiate black women as a whole, don’t paint the rest of us with the same limited understanding YOU were painted with. Take your own advice and get over YOURSELF.
Stop grasping for opportunities to be offended. Get over yourself!
