The 2019 CaribbeanTales Film Festival’s second presentation for Jamaica night is called Children Of The Incursion a short film directed by Ina Sotirova, Eka Campbell and Allan Powell. In 2010, Jamaica’s Tivoli Gardens made international headlines when a war between the supporters of Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke and Jamaica’s law enforcement ensued. An extradition order for Coke was handed down from the US authorities, which led to the violence that took the lives of 73 people while Jamaica’s law enforcement attempted to enforce this order. Children Of The Incursion shares this story through the eyes of the children who were there, and made it through this horrific time.
