 A Very Good Chronicle Of The Life & Transcendant Spirit / Music Of The Legendary Bob Marley!!Nov 11, 2009
I first saw this documentary back in 2003 on the Sundance channel,
then in 2005 on VH-1...I enjoyed it both times because it goes all the way
back to the beginnings of the legendary Bob Marley's life in the rural
outlying countryside of Kingston, Jamaica; born the product of a white british
father and a black mother who worked as a domestic & cook in 1945.
It covers his growing up in humble circumstances but making the best of what he
and his mother had and finding laughter, wisdom & pride within the pain and
harsh realities of growing up in dire poverty.
His father disappeared from his life early on, so never was really an influence.
By his teen years, they had relocated to Kingston's concrete jungle called "Trenchtown".
There he became a "rude boy" for awhile, but that never really stuck because the thug life
wasn't for the high-spirited, good-natured and serious-minded young Bob, who had began to
take a liking to music and playing guitar.
He left Jamaica a few times during these years and lived and work menial jobs throughout
the northeastern & southeastern U.S., which was then in the throws of the
civil rights struggle and the social upheaval of the 1960's.
This, accompanied by the music of artists like Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions, Motown,
Bob Dylan, and the messages in the music of those times, all spoke to his soul and
inspired him to no end! He then knew what it was he wanted to do with his life,
and upon his return to his native Jamaica, he hooked up with a band of rag tags
from around trenchtown and surrounding Kingston and a band was born!
Influenced by the local sounds of "ska" music and the folk-like primitive rhythms
of the island chants, as well as a new spiritual awakening through the outcast
rastafari religion and philosophy, all the elements began to come together!
With plenty of practice and trial and error, The Wailers first, and later,
Bob Marley & The Wailers emerged on the world music scene in the early 70's
with a new, urgent, passionate sound with a different beat and profound message
called "Reggae" and the rest is history!
This documentary goes on to cover Bob Marley's incredible story in intimate detail
with interviews from Bob's mother Cecilia, his first and principle wife, Rita Marley,
members of the Wailers including early recorded interviews with the late great Peter Tosh,
Island Records founder Chris Blackwell, and many more who freely recant their stories.
There is also great concert footage as well as interviews with Bob Marley and
home video footage of his homelife and lighter moments.
His darker moments: the assassination attempt, his cancer diagnosis in 1978,
and his eventual decline in health, subsequent death in May of 1981,
and funeral are all covered as well within the context of this film.
This is defintely a worthwhile purchase for fans of Bob Marley's music and legend.

GReat music and InformationApr 07, 2008
This video gives good insight into the life of Bob Marley and tells a story that many are not aware of. Rare interviews with Bob him self, as well as people that were influential in his life including Rita Marley, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Bunny Wailer etc...
I recomend this video for any Bob Marley enthusiast!
