Alan Greenberg's groundbreaking documentary is an overlooked poetic document from 1982. Filmed in Jamaica in May and June of 1981, Greenberg's initial intention was purely to capture Bob Marley's funeral, and the impact of his death on the island's culture, but somehow, like an unusual tropical blossom, the film unfolds into something more striking and beautiful than maybe Greenberg himself expected; it becomes an organic portrait of the very soul of Jamaica and the earthy pervasive sub-strata of Rastafarianism. Features music by Bob Marley & the Wailers and Gregory Isaacs. There is a bonus CD included with extra tracks.
