    Onscreen Discussion of ‘Migration’ Movie Turns into Jamaica Love Fest

    While discussing the film “Migration” on a segment of the Today Show, the program’s hosts and their guest, travel expert Mark Owen, shifted the conversation to enthusiastically praise Jamaica as a preferred destination in the Caribbean.

    Onscreen Discussion of 'Migration' Movie Turns into Jamaica Love Fest

    Highlighting the Features of Jamaica’s South Coast

    The Today Show panel gushed about how much they love Jamaica, with special mention given to Floyd’s Pelican Bar and Jake’s Treasure Beach Hotel. Owen particularly highlighted the features of Jamaica’s south coast, which he described as relatively unspoiled in comparison to some of the more visited areas of the island. While the south coast may not be the first choice for island tourists because of its relative isolation, it features an unspoiled natural environment marked by crisp, clean air, a laid-back charm, and a welcoming local environment. It is also home to attractions that best represent the island’s vibe.

    Jamaica’s South Coast Attractions

    In addition to its natural setting, abundant wildlife, lush tropical plants, and exceptional beaches, the south coast is home to the Appleton Rum Estate, which features excellent tours of the manufacturing process and boasts the world’s first woman to become a master blender in the spirits industry, Joy Spence. Its attractions include Black River, where visitors can view crocodiles in their natural habitat; Bluefields Beach with its iridescent turquoise waters; as well as the Little Ochi Restaurant and bar, famous for its fresh-caught seafood.

    The ”Migration” Movie

    The animated “Migration” adventure comedy from Universal Pictures is based on a story by its director Benjamin Rener and writer Mike White in which a family of mallard ducks attempts to convince its overly protective father to take the vacation of a lifetime and migrate from New England through New York City to Jamaica. The mother duck persuades the father to take the trip after a migrating duck visits their home pond and tells exciting tales of exotic places. As the Mallard family travels south for the winter, their plans must change, and their adventures ultimately inspire them to open up to new friends and experiences. The film debuted at the VIEW Conference in Turin, Italy, in October 2023, and is set for release in theaters in the United States on December 22, 2023.

    In reply, Georgetown slipped to 2-2 by the second over, with opener Lomar Seecharran bowled by Isurdeen without scoring and Mickel Sharma trapping Shamar Apple leg before for one.

    Opener Ravin Singh and Khush Seegobin added 39 for the third wicket before Seegobin was dismissed by Satindra Shiwdarsan for 16 off 42 (2x4s).

    Singh, with 20* off 43 (3x4s), and Nanan (8*) then sealed the victory in 15.4 overs.

    Over at the Meten-Meer-Zorg ground, Upper Demerara/Select XI opted to bat first and posted 118-9 from the allotted 45 overs.

    West Demerara skipper Parmeshwar Ram clipped the off-stump of opener Mickel Johnson with beauty off the fourth delivery of the match without a run on the board.

    Opener Jermaine Grovesnor (11; 2x4s) and Shahid Ramzan added 30 for the second wicket, but Upper Demerara/Select XI suffered a middle-order slump, slipping to 43-5 in the 18th over.

    The left-handed Ramzan and Sameer Bhola then steadied the innings with a 32-run sixth-wicket partnership with Bhola hitting a solitary boundary in his 11.

    As wickets tumbled around him, Ramzan stood firm, stroking three fours in a topscore of 48 off 113 balls, being run out with three balls remaining in the innings.

    Bowling for West Demerara, Wazir Ghulam took 2-17 off nine overs, Ram 2-18 off nine and Shaker Ramesh 2-24 off eight.

    In reply, West Demerara lost Mahendra Mohan (5) and Isiah Anderson (3) cheaply, before Ram and Joshua Collette sealed the win with an unbroken third wicket partnership of 77.

    When victory was achieved in 28.5 overs, the in-form Ram was unbeaten on 62 off 86 balls (6x4s), his third consecutive half-century of the tournament, while Collette was not out on 31 (4x4s).

    Bowling for Upper Demerara/Select XI, Prosper Jacobus took 1-13 and Thierry Davis 1-31.
