Kingston Paradise

Kingston Paradise is a 2013 Jamaican feature-length film written and directed by Mary Wells, featuring Jamaican entertainer Christopher 'Johnny' Daley in a leading role.

Synopsis
Life on the streets of Kingston, Jamaica is about frantic survival for small-time hustler Rocksy (Christopher Daley), a taxi driver/part-time pimp, and Rosie (Camille Small); a prostitute, his roommate and business investment. They dream of another life with a future. On the peeling walls of their tenement, Rosie prominently places a painting of an exotic beach that gives them both hope and something tangible to cling to. In order to achieve their goal of leaving Kingston for another life, Rocksy devises a risky plan with his friend Malt (Greggory Nelson), to steal and fence a sports car belonging to a local Lebanese businessman Faris (Paul Shoucair). When Rosie leaves, Rocksy struggles to manage without her, he becomes even more desperate and he does the unthinkable. Something within him has changed, but does the political environment in Jamaica allow for change? ==Cast==
