But: the final words of Herbie Miller in this film, talking about connecting contrasts and bringing culture together - is why we were and remain passionate about this story and telling stories in general - that'll never change. We're excited to present to you, via a YETI presents, Japan to Jamaica. Starring Naoki Ienaga.

From YETI:

In his pursuit of unearthing little-heard Jamaican music, Naoki ventured far from his home in Tokyo. A one-of-a-kind reggae researcher, he took on a vital role of documenting rare music for the public. Naoki then discovered another icon of Jamaican culture: tarpon fishing. It uncovered a new connection with the island and transformed his experience of Jamaica.
