Conflicts Arise In Publik Report’s “Barrel Mash Up Family” Film


Immigration is big step taken by many people around the world. In the Caribbean, many find themselves in the US, Canada, and the UK for opportunities beyond what their native countries can provide. In the end, they look to take care of themselves, and their families. One of the benefits of Immigration for some, is the opportunity to send home barrels that would consist of food, clothes, and other amenities. When done correctly, it gives families back home to benefit from some of the commodities of other countries, but when done wrong, can cause conflict in the family. Filmmaker/Actor/Recording Artist Kemar Williams a.k.a. Publik Report wanted to highlight some of this in his new Film, “Barrel Mash Up Family“.

Starring Publik Report, Candice Russell, Rohan Fowler, and Actress Merty, “Barrel Mash Up Family” highlights how messy things can get when it comes to getting a Barrel from loved ones overseas. What started as a simple request for a barrel as the cost of living in Jamaica has gone up, turned into acts of theft, deception, and family members being at odds. These things happen often, and at times it can get worse. There’s nothing like getting a barrel from relatives, but sometimes that jealousy bug can get in the way of things.
