This taught me a lot about bob Marley that I hadn't previously known

I did watch a documentary about Bob Marley a while ago, but this documentary focuses on one particular time and place. And it is quite thorough I might add. While the one about Run DMC (or particular Jam Master Jay) was a bit shallow or not as comprehensive ... or even satisfying, this delivers, even when it leaves many questions unaswered.

You still get a feeling and you get a lot of quotes - some from people who still don't want to be identified ... you can only imagine how deep certain things go. So this is as much about Bob Marley as it is about politics. And while I will not claim that I'm a scholar of Marley or his work (like most I know the songs, now also have two documentaries to "brag" about), this is quite enticing and well researched. And it also is not too long - a fine short documentary to digest well ...

My only criticism is that this documentary doesn't really get too involved in any particular area of bob marleys life. It details the assassination attempt and the political climate in Jamaica at the time, but doesn't spend too much time with either, and sort of dances around. Very noncommittal documentary, which can be nice to watch, but also can be a bit boring. Did learn a few things about bob Marley that I didn't know before.

Insight into Bob's relationship with his home country and genuine will for peace. Well put together to both cater for Bob fans and true crime fans not perfect but certainly entertaining.
