I read sometime ago, that the BBC was given unprecedented access to the President and his then Ministers of Cabinet, to film a documentary on life in Guyana. I am not sure if this was done to show the IMF and other International bodies that Guyana was in urgent need of debt relief and aid but never have I seen, my country portrayed in such a negative light . This program, was presented by veteran BBC journalist and broadcaster according to BBC " he brings his inimitable insight and humor to each of his destinations." I think Bharrat should have investigated and researched this reporters past work more rigidly before allowing this in depth, full access into our country.
In the documentary, Bharrat wanted to be shown as a president for “the people” but instead was highlighted as a man who is aloof, micro manages, authoritative and too immature for his position. The documentary shows, RIP Satyadeo Sawh combing his mustache before a meeting. RIP George Bacchus talked about his brother’s death, crime in Guyana and of course the controversy and corruption with then Minister Gajraj. To add insult to injury " Manzoor Nadir and his family were filmed mourning the death of a family Cat" What the f…k was that? Gail was seen trying to avert the attention of the members of the Cricket World Cup Committee when a big truck blocked the East Bank Road. According to the BBC documentary "Leslie Ramsammy is convinced the spread of the disease (HIV/ AIDS) will be curbed if sex workers form a collective, he sends his public relations officer out at night to meet prostitutes and invites them to the ministry for a meeting. He is even prepared to allow US Christian missions to supplement some of Guyana's health services." that is just funny to me that they included this in an international documentary. If my memory serves me correctly, a few years back some Indo-Guyanese went on Oprah and compared Guyana to Cambodia. (disloyal ass migrants)
The damn stories in this documentary are too numerous and humorous to mention. I knew my dear old Guyana was impoverished. But Damn, never to the extent as highlighted in this documentary. This programme is a must see and I hope Channel 7 does a rebroadcast for all those who missed it.
