Film Screening: MARLEY @ Isabel Bader Theatre, Thurs May 3rd & Bloor Hot Docs Cinema, Sat May 5th!

Oscar winner Kevin MacDonald (Last King of Scotland, One Day in September) delivers the long awaited, authorized biography of reggae legend Bob Marley. MacDonald offers an expansive yet intimate history of the larger than life artist. The icon is remembered on a most personal level through affectionate first-hand accounts from his family and inner circle. He was a father, a lover, a rabid football fan and a revolutionary, but most importantly, he was a passionate and dedicated musician. MacDonald fully immerses us in the singer’s history through beautiful scenes shot on location in Nine Mile and Trenchtown, rare archival interviews and enough concert footage to satisfy even the most devoted fans. Marley is a film that understands why Bob Marley’s influence still resonates with such strength today. Lynne Crocker
