I saw it today; Who did ?
at last a serious work about Marley's life full of very interesting interviews and rare footage (Marley sick at the end of his life was something I had never seen). So many videos gigs exist even the Zimbabwe one.
Of course the end of the movie with Redemption song is very moving.
But Marley went to the end of what was possible. Doctors said he had 3 weeks to live in march 80 but he toured til sept 23, 80 and died in may 81.
See an example of the schedule when he was very sick. Almost a show everyday.. Amazing.

The movie insists on Marley's influence for bringing back peace in Jamaica and Marley's message of love and peace. Beyond the music the man.
And the music is fantastic. During the credits the list of songs are almost all made by Marley by himself...impressive when you think about MJ/KR solo works.
Really the missing one...
