Despite implementing social programs meant to uplift the nation, Manley's friendship with Cuba's Fidel Castro fueled Cold War paranoia. The economy declined drastically as a result and his experiment ultimately failed in its purpose. One thing that the former Prime Minister did not fail to do was inspire a generation to come. Richard Audley Vaughan, a 32-year-old Jamaican living in California, went digging into the past to find out the truth about a political figure who is as much demonized as he is revered. At the end of his search, he found that one simple word best described Manley. The Word Is Love: Jamaica's Michael Manley is the title of Vaughn's full-length documentary that strings together over 3 hours of historical footage and stimulating interviews. Its cast is a "who's who" list of persons who were closest to Manley during his lifetime, from members of his cabinet to members of his family. A very complete picture of a fearless leader is painted in The Word Is Love. Written by Dutty Bookman See less
