Bob the Rasta

Marley (2012)

Directed by Kevin MacDonald this documentary features interviews with many people that knew Bob Marley. The life of Bob Marley is tracked from his humble upbringings in Jamaica to his death from cancer at the age of 36.

The documentary does an excellent job of bringing together a wide range of people that knew Marley either as friends, family or people he worked with to give a great insight into his life. What the film does well is put it's subject in a historical context and show how Marley became more than a music artist to the people of Jamaica. There is some great photography of the island of Jamaica as well as good use of archive footage.
