    Pretty good
    A well made look at a reggae legend with lots of footage and performances. What more could you really want? It covers the creation of his music, his influences, his roots, his tragic early death, etc. Just about the only thing it doesn't do that well is talk about his legacy or how much bigger he got after dying. Maybe a few extra minutes about that would have been nice, but apart from that small nit pick, this is totally worth seeing.

    Some really hilarious outfits by some of the old dudes in the interview segments too. Like weird peacock army soldiers covered in flair and bling. Total style man!
