LAND OF LOOK BEHIND:

Rating:
Genre: Music
Movie Type: Biography
Director: Alan Greenberg
Main Cast: Gregory Isaacs, Mutabaruka, Lui Lepki
Release Year: 1982
Country: US
Run Time: 90 minutes
Plot
In this documentary on the Rastafarians in Jamaica (homeland of the Rastafari par excellence -- the late Bob Marley), director Alan Greenberg interviews some Jamaicans whose conversations suggest that the smoking of ganja, the worship of Haile Selassie (the former Ethiopian emperor) as a god, and the goal of Jamaican self-realization is their own kind of unified field theory. A young, poverty-stricken teenager listens to the reggae music on his radio as though it will magically lead him to a better future, and a pineapple cutter living in the "baddest" area of the island dreams of fomenting tourism in his exotic surroundings. The May, 1981 funeral of Marley himself brought Christian and Rastafarian beliefs together in tribute to the island's hero, providing one of the most poignant vignettes in the Land of Look Behind. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

EARTHLAND REGGAE


Rating:
Genre: Music
Movie Type: Social Issues, Biography
Director: James P. Lewis
Main Cast: Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Dennis Brown
Release Year: 1978
Country: CA
Run Time: 90 minutes
Plot
Rastafarian Bob Marley and his Wailers are the highlight of this documentary of the "One Love Peace Concert" held in Jamaica and featuring many of the other singers who had performed with Marley in Europe, Africa, and America. Just coming out of a series of successful songs and international recognition, Marley is in top shape, though his reggae music, even in 1980, had yet to really catch on in the U.S. Performers include The I-Threes, Peter Tosh, Althea and Donna, and several others. Unfortunately, the technical quality of the documentary is poor, though Marley manages to outshine any such difficulties. Marley's cancer at this time was kept under wraps and is not mentioned in the documentary. He would die the following year in Miami, at the age of thirty-six. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Land of look behind is one of the greatest reggae/doc movies ever made. It is now seeing a sort of proper release on DVD. I say sort of b/c yes they did finally put it on DVD but they put zero promotion behind it. None that I have seen. This is such a great movie with fantastic footage of Bob's funeral that a proper promotion campaign would have been nice to see. but anyways---one of the greats.
