notes

Kingston, Jamaica, 1977 - A flashpoint year for reggae music and Jamaica: police and thieves battling in the street as politicians battle for power and reggae musicians fight form people's souls. "Roots, Rock, Reggae" presents a rare glimpse into the roots of reggae from the rough and tumble Trenchtown ghetto to the placid hills behind Kingwston where followers of Rastafari drum and sing hymns. Features performances, interviews and studio scenes with Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley, Toots and The Maytals, Jacob Miller & Inner Circle, The Abysinnians, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Ras Michael & Sons of Negus, Joe Higgs and more.

60 Minutes. Dolby Digital Stereo.
