It's been roughly three weeks now since attorney Dana Seetahal was brazenly killed and there have been no appreciable advances (as far as the public is aware) in the investigation.There was yet another distraction over the past week. Vice News came to town, offering up embarrassing introspection for citizens of this country. The documentary team swept into the country and succinctly captured the essence of our malaise, without the unnecessary flourish of poking at bodies in the morgue.
Some commented that the investigative piece yielded no revelations, it was simply repackaged information already in the public domain.The producers created the documentary for international consumption, not for local audiences so that point does seem rather silly.
What most viewers seem to have missed is the dire need for this calibre of documentary productions which thoroughly analyse the nature of crime, expose the work of groups working to provide alternatives to the gangster lifestyle and show young people lawful pathways to better lives.P
