Much like Jamaican Observer newspaper's witty and scathing Clovis cartoons, Cabbie Chronicles are able to poke fun at everyday life and social conflict in Jamaica with an honest but humorous point of view.
The award-winning series follows Delly the Cabbie and his regular crew of passengers. In the clip below, a few flashy dancehall patrons, an uptight uptown woman and an old timer who yearns for a return to British rule share the cab on the way to a 50th Jamaican Independence celebration. Watch how the cartoon cleverly injects Jamaican historical segments and a frank discussion of class in contemporary Jamaican society.
Read a full synopsis of the series on the Cabbie website. Enjoy!
