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

Product Description
Rebel Music tells the fascinating and heart-wrenching story of legendary reggae superstar Bob Marley, his extraordinary life and revolutionary music. He was a gifted musician, an inspired poet, and a prophet of peace who fervently decried the injustices of all people by remaining true to his roots and devoting himself to spreading the gospel of Rastafari. "The most influential artist of the second half of the 20th century" - The New York Times. ?

5 out of 5 stars 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!

3 out of 5 stars 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.

What more can be said about the king of the reggae genre Bob Marley..this documentary traces Bob career from his early recording including the assassination attempts up until his death at the age of 36.

His wife Rita plays a major role in the film but telling her side of the story as wee as the side that Bob couldn't tell because of his early death.

It contains lots of footage of his early recordings with Bunny and Peter which alone are worthy of a watch.


Bob was an artiste who not only had something to say , but something that made sense.


I recommend this.
