Made in Jamaica

Music saves lives and on Jamaica the salvation has been reggae. All through the pain of slavery and their recent violent history, this musical genre has provided the population with a way to express their feelings. Names like Bob Marley and newer genres like dance hall have taken root also outside their country of origin. Now their music spans several continents, reaching ever more people. In this film we meet great Jamaican artists who express their musicality. Their songs are about important issues like politics, slavery, religion and the future. In long sequences you can enjoy the perfection of the music, while your eyes can experience the raw reality behind the lyrics. baa
