Celebrating Marley’s Birthday and Black History Month…BOB MARLEY: THE MAKING OF A LEGEND
Based on footage shot in the early seventies and lost for more than
thirty years, NAACP IMAGE AWARD winner Esther Anderson takes us on a
journey to Jamaica and into 56 HOPE ROAD, Kingston, to see and hear the
young BOB MARLEY before he was famous. The film shows us the WAILERS’
first rehearsal, when the idea of a Jamaican supergroup like the BEATLES
or the STONES was still just a dream. We sit in on the launch of their
international career with “GET UP STAND UP”, “I SHOT THE SHERIFF”, and
the “BURNIN’” and “CATCH A FIRE” albums that brought to the world REGGAE
music and RASTA consciousness together as one, starting a revolution
that would change rock music and contemporary culture.
