Seeing their stories and how they got caught up shows that bad things can happen to good people.
Chanta Rand
I though this was a well written and directed dramatic story, of the harsh realities that deportees can face.
Godfrey Perry
Neither can the three return to the countries of their birth--Canada, Great Britain, or the United States.

Heartbreaking humanization of immigration bureaucracy
By Lee McQueen on October 26, 2013
Format: DVD
Three members of Jamaica's widespread diaspora return to Kingston involuntarily through deportation on drug-related charges. A mother of small children from Toronto, a privileged school boy from London, and a drug enforcer from New York City.

Despite having lived their entire lives in the bright lights of big cities, the three characters quickly find themselves humbled, abandoned, exploited, and in once case, broken, by their new identities as deportees. Deportees in Jamaica bear a stigma as lawbreakers and are not allowed to legally work. Neither can the three return to the countries of their birth--Canada, Great Britain, or the United States.

So, in order to survive, the deportees must enter further into moral dilemmas, make compromises, and chip off parts of pride and dignity in order to navigate a labyrinthian bureacratic immigration policies.

Filled with heartbreak, dread, and a small light of hope, this movie is a revelation on the human face of immigration and a reminder that those caught in the net are human beings.

Surprsingly Good!
By Chanta Rand on April 26, 2014
Format: Amazon Instant Video Verified Purchase
Since the reviews were so mixed, I wasn't sure how this one was going to turn out. It was surprisingly good. I had no idea of the high amount of deportees to Jamaica. This film dealt with the lives of 3 people who were deported back to Jamaica because of crimes (all drug related). Even though they'd made stupid decisions that prompted their deportation, I really felt bad for them. Seeing their stories and how they got caught up shows that bad things can happen to good people. This movie also shows the seedy side of Jamaica -- the side tourists don't see. What I liked is that some people had a happy ending, and some didn't. The film was very realistic. It also reinforced another belief I have: no matter what problems we have in America, I sure as hell wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

Commendable - in every way!
By zoe on March 10, 2014
Format: DVD
Home Again:
I was impressed, (and not a little) by the execution, written lines, acting, storyline, the authenticity portray of the environment and culture, and cast chosen for this movie. The budget for this movie did not hinder season actors from giving a five star performance – commendable! Putting everything else aside – the movie brought home the realities of individuals who have been subjected to deportation for infractions in judgment. However, the consequences and realities they face upon return were heartbreaking to even consider as a reality, far less view. Something must be done about this situation. The movie Home Again was truly entertaining as it graphically portrayed the human condition in all its complex abnormalities. Well done gang, well done! Side note: Mr. Lyriq Bent is a gorgeous looking man. I have no idea if his character as a person matches the exterior - Nevertheless, that is a most handsome, regal looking man of African origin!

Great Movie!
By George B. Lewis on February 17, 2014
Format: Amazon Instant Video Verified Purchase
Not low budget and very clean crisp colors.
But this is a movie that is great for the family. Especially ones of which are decendants of Jamaicans or other Islands in the Caribbean to see how deportation affects life. Great for Jamaicans living outside the country to see the homeland.
I truly enjoyed it. I was able to show my son what life is like back home for many of our own personal family members.

Painfull to Watch
By Alicia on March 3, 2014
Format: Amazon Instant Video Verified Purchase
This was a difficult movie for me to watch . . . maybe too much realism . . . definitely a lot of sadness. When my husband and I passed through Kingston on our way to our all-inclusive vacation club resort, what was portrayed in the movie was EXACTLY what we saw . . . poverty . . . crime . . . drugs . . . violence . . . and you name it! If that's Home Again, then I would NEVER want to go home . . . talk about a good place to be FROM! Home Again is worth watching but not for the faint-of-heart.

Opens door to world I never considered.
By Jobie on June 8, 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
You can really feel the turbid nature of a reinserted immigrants life through the tempo of the film it rarely rests. I found myself constantly recalculating the position of facts and following the ride. It has a message but it’s not preachy and I don’t feel force feed. Its good.
