Description:
"Roots Rock Reggae" captures a pivotal period in Jamaican history when music reflected the island's challenges and celebrated its icons. The film documents Bob Marley and the Wailers and Lee 'Scratch' Perry recording The Upsetters at Perry's renowned Black Ark studio. It also features Jimmy Cliff rehearsing with Sly and Robbie, and captures Inner Circle's landmark live performance amidst the turbulent streets of Kingston. Legendary artists like the Abyssinians, Joe Higgs, U Roy, The Mighty Diamonds, and Third World contribute. The film includes rare archival footage of Toots and the Maytals, Haile Selassie's visit to Jamaica, and scenes of social unrest and violence in the streets and ghettos. 1977 proved to be an exceptional year for Reggae music.
