The Film
A thought-provoking 16-minute film about my experience as the first jamaican woman visiting Antarctica but more importantly, about the changing experiences of the wildlife and ice caps being affected by climate change and the effects this will have on us all. After all, we have but one Earth..
The Song
Penguin Slide (Down in Antarctica) Lyrics
Jamaicans go everywhere
That you should know
From the heat of the equator
To the lands down below
Hop aboard a plane
And here we go
To the White continent
The land of ice and snow.
Chorus
Where di penguins play
And di seal dem stray
De Icebergs tall
And snow will fall
Down in Antarctica
Where the whale dem meet
for the krill dem eat
De ice floats by
And di mountains high
Down in Antarctica
The southern sea
Is where you'll find me
Where the Austral Summer
Makes everything warmer
But at 40 degrees
It's I too cold you see
I can't feel my toes or the fingers on my han
Cause I'm from a hot place I'm Jamaican!
