Nesta Robert Marley was born in 1945 in a poor Jamaican village. Not accepted by those around him because of his light skin (his father was a white colonial whom he barely knew), he left at age 12 to find his fortune in Trenchtown, a Kingston ghetto. There he met up with his childhood friend Bunny (Neville O'Riley Livingston) and, with Peter Tosh (Winston Hubert McIntosh), they founded the Wailers under the leadership of Joe Higgs, their singing teacher. Bob then married Rita, who sang for the group. Their first producer made them famous on the island, but they fired him because he didn't pay them. But by 1971-1972, producer Chris Blackwell took them to the international stage and Bob went on tour without his mates... Go to movie review from Valérie Lobsiger
