The legend of Bob Marley (1945-1981) is well served by this comprehensive and clear-eyed look at the turbulent life and times of the reggae great. Jeremy Marre's documentary presents the man as a vitally important artist, but a flawed--if immensely appealing--human being. The trajectory of his rise is traced from his humble beginnings as the son of a poor, teenage mother in rural Jamaica to the heights of international superstardom in the 1970s. Along the way, Marre provides a context for the development of his artistry by exploring the political situation in Jamaica at the time, the roots of Rastafarianism (to which he was intensely devoted), and his unconventional relationships with women. Although he remained close to wife, Rita, until his death, Marley enjoyed a number of public relationships with other women (Rita admits she found this difficult; Marley claims he didn't see anything unusual about it). The sheer number of interviews is impressive. Aside from the clips of Marley himself, Bunny Livingstone and Peter Tosh (the Wailers), Island Records founder Chris Blackwell, two Jamaican prime ministers (Socialist Michael Manley and Conservative Edward Seaga), and even a CIA official (Philip Agee) all make an appearance. The breadth of Marley's music is represented by over 40 tracks, from the early ska hit "Judge Not" to later political numbers like "Africa Unite." Although Marley never actually considered himself a "political" person, he was surely a rebel--brave, passionate, committed--in the best sense of the word. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

 Disappointed June 29, 2009
Very amatuerish. Could have been so much more. Get another pure documetary.
Picture quality poor.

Rebel Music - Bob is the Man! June 13, 2008
I wanted to see a DVD of Bob Marley life... I found this on Amazon, and it had great ratings and reveiws, so I decided to purchase... the DVD was just what I was looking for. It was put together very well. Any fan of Bob Marley should own this....
GReat music and Information April 7, 2008
This video gives good insight into the life of Bob Marley and tells a story that many are not aware of. Rare interviews with Bob him self, as well as people that were influential in his life including Rita Marley, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Bunny Wailer etc...
I recomend this video for any Bob Marley enthusiast!

 A lack of features September 18, 2007
As a Bob Marley's fan I expected more from this DVD. It doesn't add much information and the quality of sound is kind of poor.
