As with most things Trojan, this is a rehash of films that have been around for a very long time. A film like This Is England is much more revealing of the society at that place and time. Still its nice to have more full length features on the history of reggae and its predecessors in Jamaica and as they were transplanted to the UK and elsewhere. Many do not know: Trojan records was started by Chris Blackwell before Island, as a company that imported JA records into the UK to sell to Jamaican expats. Blackwell was a white Jamaican who saw the need and then built it into an empire largely on the back of Bob Marley but also with help from artists like Traffic.
