And while the project is a big win for Shyne, is it the same for his party? Shyne doubters - and there are more than a few - say that the filming of the local parts of the documentary - timed to coincide with his big endorsement convention on Sunday - underscores the fact that it's all about the Shyne story, not so much the UDP.
It's a cynical interpretation but one worth arguing about - and at a press briefing today - where the film crew was on full display - Jules Vasquez asked him about it:
Jules Vasquez
"How do you respond to the criticism that here it is...."
Shyne Barrow, Leader of the Opposition
"There will be criticism that I have...."
Jules Vasquez
"The UDP is just an accessory in the great story of Shyne Barrow. That will be the criticism that the UDP is just props."
Shyne Barrow, Leader of the Opposition
"My goodness, what a costly prop. Only someone with perverted thoughts such as yourself would conjure those types of hallucinations. But no, this is a great opportunity for Belize. No matter what happens, even if we don't win an Oscar or an Emmy, Belize will be marketed and promoted like never Before and it's not going to cost the tax payers a million dollars. So, what you're saying is like lunacy."
