Bob Marley: The Making of a Legend
The lost footage of Marley's early career has been rediscovered and put on the big screen; this is Marley as you've never seen him before!
Skype interview with directors Esther Anderson and Gian Godoy
Reception with music by DJ Kool Herc, founder of Hip Hop Culture in the sky room.
Curated by Cindy Campbell
Based on footage shot in the early seventies and lost for more than thirty years, NAACP Image Award winner Esther Anderson takes us on a journey to Jamaica and onto 56 Hope Road, Kingston, to see and hear the young Bob Marley before he was famous. The film shows us the Wailers' first rehearsal, when the idea of a Jamaican supergroup like the
Beatles or the Stones was still just a dream. We sit in on the launch of their international career with "GET UP STAND UP", "I SHOT THE SHERIFF", and the "BURNIN'" and "CATCH A FIRE" albums that brought to the world REGGAE music and RASTA consciousness together as one, starting a revolution that would change rock music and contemporary culture.
