This is an hour long doc about Bob Marley focusing primarily on his two most pivotal JA shows, the Smile Jamaica concert & the One Love Peace concert, the assassination attempt, the social violence, and the political climate of JA at the time with Manley’s socialist PNP vs Seaga’s capitalist JLP. It’s a fair retelling of this history for an hour long doc, especially if you don’t know much about Bob. I enjoyed watching some of the people who were interviewed, but a lot of key people were missing, most notably the Marley family (unless you count Cindy but her participation pretty much shuts out Rita). There wasn’t anything new to me information-wise but there was some footage of Bob that I had not seen before. Note that I have CDs of both of those concerts and OLP is one of the most amazing performances of Bob’s ever - it’s transcendent - you can hear him pierce the veil.
D00M recommended it you don’t know it. I suspect it’d be unrevealing for KB too, but like me, you might enjoy some of the vintage footage and a few of the interviewees.
