I was 15 when Bob died and had heard several of his songs like most people but I never really listened to him...Nor did I know anything about him. This documentary changed all of that and I happily listen to his really groovy music often. What a great musician! Despite his flaws, what a great man! How did I miss this guy? He got little attention in the Southeast I suppose because he is the wrong color for a lot of people around here...(sigh)
The documentary starts kind of slow but it picks up speed quickly and fills you in on a lot of fascinating info on Jamaincan culture and the young Marley climbing out of abject poverty and achieving an exceptional level of greatness. At the end I found myself (and still do days later) dealing with a sense of loss not only because of his death at 36 over 30 years ago but because I never knew the guy and I find that I really like what he was doing and what the doc and his music have told me about him.
I'm very happy I watched this documentary and do recommend it to everyone.
