@ Nelson Mandela Auditorium, University of Sheffield Students’ Union

DATE & TIME TBC

Join Groundation during the Students’ Union’s climate justice week for a screening of Beach Inna Bondage (2026, 30 minutes), followed by a panel discussion and audience questions.

As Jamaica’s beaches are increasingly captured by private and tourist interests, a movement fights to reclaim access to the island’s coastline. The documentary explores how tourism displaces communities, disrupts livelihoods and damages environments, asking: who does this tropical paradise serve, and at what cost?

Following the screening, we’ll explore the connections between beach access, community resistance and historical, social, cultural and environmental justice. Bring your questions and reflections into the conversation.

Directed by Kingston-based filmmaking duo Emiel Martens and Elsie Vermeer, in collaboration with the Jamaica Beach Birthright Environmental Movement (JaBBEM) and Jamaican reggae artiste Keznamdi.
