Now this is what I call a great quality documentary. Even if you're not a fan of Bob Marley you still can enjoy this biography. Just because it is well made with plenty of archived footage. And all of the cast are the actual people that had a place in his life, in his band or in his daily life. The documentary is of course full of great songs, from the beginning of his career till the end. And honestly I don't know many people that just don't like Bob Marley. He's one of those artists that you can't hate. Full of positive vibrations. It's a pleasure to watch this documentary , to see where he came from, from the ghetto, to see how far he progressed until his tragic end, beaten by cancer at a much too young of age. He will always be remembered as the Rastafarian that only wanted peace and unity for everyone. One Love!

Great documentary on a great man: the musical and lyrical genius Bob Marley. Thorough - some interviews and performances are pretty rare. Well-told - the interviews and sub-titles move the story forward, not narration. Director Kevin MacDonald (The Last King of Scotland, One Day in September, Touching the Void, State of Play) weaves an interesting and compelling story. Marley's philosophies and drivers are there for all to see.Quite long, but everything is relevant. No padding, no unnecessary and/or empty interviews.

A great movie about the rising of a legends, smacked with riffs and fantastic music from one of our worlds greatest artists! If you have a slight interest in music you better watch this movie!He was born in the remote Jamaican village of Nine Mile in 1945. His mother, Cedella, was black and 16. His father, Norval Marley, a white man aged 65, was employed by the forestry commission to prevent the theft of timber. He rode around the countryside like a Cossack and styled himself Captain, though there's no evidence he'd held any commissioned rank or served in any war.

This documentary is directed by Kevin Macdonald (Last King of Scotland) about the iconic Bob Marley. It has a lot great music, and educational for the everyday casual fans. I'm sure their most ardent fans know all these stories. At 144 minutes, it is quite long for most people. It flows well especially the last half. Lots of things start to happen. One thing I do have to warn people. It's necessary to get used to the tough Jamaican accent. It could get difficult to understand. There was a lot of talking heads interviews. But in the end, the music is great, and the history is enlightening.
