CPTC completes documentary in honour of Sir Howard

THE Creative Production and Training Centre Limited (CPTC) has completed its documentary in honour of retired governor-general, Sir Howard Cooke.

CPTC chief executive officer, Angela Patterson, aid the timing of the hour-long special production was designed to coincide with the formal departure from office of Sir Howard.

The documentary, produced by Carey Robinson and Dr Hopeton Dunn, tracks the outstanding career of Sir Howard from his early engagement as a primary school teacher, to his activities as a leading footballer, an insurance executive and later to the high offices of minister of government, and governor-general of Jamaica.

“Based on extensive background research and, a wide range of key informants, the documentary provides an intriguing look at the private opinions and public uttering of the holder of Jamaica’s highest office for the last 15 years,” said the CPTC in a press statement.

The documentary will be launched next month at a special event in honour of Sir Howard. It forms part of the CPTC’s special production series entitled ‘Outstanding Jamaicans’.

Sir Howard, who retired Wednesday, has been succeeded by Prof Kenneth Hall.
