Bob Marley, Poet and a Prophet
A fantastic documentary, detailing the life of Bob Marley. I learned that Bob's cause and purpose was born through living a life of poverty and seeing a way out through his God given talents for poetry and music. It is said in the movie that the harsh circumstances of his youth can make any person quickly go down a path of being good or bad. As a natural humanitarian, Bob chooses to not only elevate himself, but all people that suffer. As he discovers his music and his faith, Bob realizes his dream to bring all people together. The documentary has great detail from many people close to him, including his wife, children, producers and fellow musicians, all lending their voice to unfold Bob's story. The films compelling portrayal of Marley is told much more through the narrative drama of his life and less through a straight interpretation or celebration of his music. It's about illuminating Marley's roots and the trials he faced in his tragically short life. Highly recommend!
