About
Watch it if you want an in-depth, uplifting music-life story with plenty of archived material and heartfelt perspective on peace and unity; Not for you if you want a short, casual ride or struggle with Jamaica accent-heavy interviews—similar to Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest or Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
Pros: rare footage; great performances; inspiring interviews | Cons: runs long; tough accent; not for all fans
