ROOTS TIME
Seattle, WA
Seattle Premiere - Jah Bull and Baboo are two Rastafarians that sell LP records in a colourful old car through the countryside towns of Jamaica. By chance their favourite and well known radio broadcaster, Farmer Roots, hitches a ride with them in an emergency while trying to take his sick girlfriend to the hospital. Jah Bull and Baboo don't believe in western medicine because of their Rastafarian beliefs and 'convince' their passengers to seek the help from the bush doctor Bongo-Hu. Getting to the doctor turns out to be much more difficult than they expected and all kinds of adventures happen along the way
