NAACP Image Award winning actress, photographer and filmmaker Esther Anderson created the blueprint of this film in 1973.
The documentary shows us the Wailers’ first rehearsal, when the idea of a Jamaican super band like the Beatles or the Stones was still just a dream.
Sit in on the launch of their international career with “Get up Stand up”, “I Shot the Sheriff”, and the “Burnin'” and “Catch a Fire” albums that brought to the world Reggae music and Rasta consciousness together as one, starting a revolution that would change rock music and contemporary culture forever.
Shooting intimate scenes with a prototype Sony video camera, Esther carefully constructs the union between Reggae and Rasta that launches the international career of The Wailers.
In collaboration with architect and filmmaker Gian Godoy, Esther revisits the making of the legend in modern Jamaica.
