Marley Products

Bob Marley's universal appeal, impact on music history, and role as a social and political prophet are unique and unparalleled. The definitive life story of the musician, revolutionary, and legend is portrayed in the film MARLEY, from his early days to his rise to international superstardom. Supported by the Marley family, the film includes rare footage, incredible performances, and revealing interviews with those who knew him best. Bob Marley's musical and cultural influence is so significant that he required an authoritative documentary portrait, which Marley provides with all the necessary elements. Working with official music rights and with the cooperation of Marley's family and friends, Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald creates a comprehensive account that covers all major aspects of Marley's life, including some less flattering details, such as his extramarital affairs. Particularly fascinating is the portrayal of Marley's youth as a mixed-race outcast from a Jamaican village who, along with like-minded musicians, pioneered a reggae sound in the '50s and '60s. The film brings this period to life and depicts Marley's journey to fame, filled with unique incidents. Though Marley's untimely death in 1981 at the age of 36 is not the central focus of the film, Macdonald effectively explores this part of his story. The music and concert footage featured in the film are enough to justify its existence, with additional insights on politics, Rastafarianism, and ganja smoking. While not the definitive account of Marley's life, the film serves as an excellent starting point, capturing the essence of his legacy.
