Synopsis

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.

Bob Marley was a symbol of human rights, fighting for social equality with zealous determination. For many, he symbolized the hopes of the downtrodden for a better life. Stirred by global politics, Marley used his brilliant and evocative music as a powerful way to deliver a universal message of peace, love and equality to all corners of the globe. He was the voice of a new world trying to be born, the face of international freedom movements, both political and spiritual.

At the height of his popularity and after a lifetime demonstrating the world-changing power of music, his life was claimed by cancer in 1981 at the age of 36.
