Rating: - Excellent film,
What a great film this is, one of my favourite reggae related films, but if it's reggae your after then this isn't a documentary about reggae, it's basically a view of local people in JA, giving interviews with local rastas and some special interviews with Mutabaruka + Gregory Isaacs. A really spiritual film, a meditation.
Nice one Ryko for re-releasing this one......

The film then bacame a meditation on the life of the Jamaican ... Read More

Then moves onto the city and interviews Gregory Isaacs in his office, then u get to see him perform, wicked act. Some great scenes of Bob Marleys funeral showing the huge amount of people that turned ... Read More

Rating: - LAND OF LOOK BEHIND, a must see
Growing up in a culture where the names Bob Marley and rastafaria typically represent only Popstardom and illegal ganja use, I went into viewing this movie expecting to see, once again, that portayal. I came out refreshed, with a different and more far-reaching understanding of the Rastafarian culture and the essence of Marley's music. To view LAND OF LOOK BEHIND is to peer into the depths of Look Behind's (Jamaica's) interior, to bypass the facades of tourism and pop, to see a people, their history, their ... Read More
