    Jamaica has natural resources, primarily bauxite, and an ideal climate conducive to agriculture and also tourism. The discovery of bauxite in the 1940s and the subsequent establishment of the bauxite-alumina industry shifted Jamaica's economy from sugar and bananas. By the 1970s, Jamaica had emerged as a world leader in export of these minerals as foreign investment increased.Weakness in the financial sector, speculation, and lower levels of investment erode confidence in the productive sector.

    Between 1897 and 1902, the French filmmaker Georges Méliès made numerous actualités reconstituées .
