“[A] generous, absorbing, family authorized docu on the late, still-reigning king of reggae music.” – Variety
Oscar winner Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland, One Day in September) delivers the long-awaited authorized biography of reggae legend Bob Marley. The icon is remembered on a most personal level through affectionate first-hand accounts from his family and inner circle as a father, a lover, a rabid football fan and a revolutionary, but most importantly, as a passionate and dedicated musician. Macdonald fully immerses us in the larger-than-life singer’s history through beautiful scenes shot on location in Nine Mile and Trenchtown, rare archival interviews and enough concert footage to satisfy even the most devoted fans. Marley is a film that understands why Bob Marley’s influence still resonates with such strength today. Lynne Crocker, Hot Docs
