Bob Marley: The Lost Tapes


This is a collection of long television interviews done with Bob Marley between 1974 and 1978. The man with the mostache and Australian accent is George Negus, a legend of Australian TV. I remember when this was shown on '60 Minutes' and the scandal that was associated with Bob Marley, when he was treated like a wild man in Australian media. Bob Marley and the Wailers toured Australia in 1979 and they had a big impact on the Aboriginal people, with their songs of freedom.

Bob talks about his ideas and philosophy. He shows himself to be a profound thinker. He is humble, wise and funny.

Bob Marley is one of the most influential men in music. Born on a farm in Saint Ann Parish Jamaica, he committed his life to the freedom of people all around the world. To date he has sold over 75 million albums worldwide, making him one of the worlds best-selling artists of all time. In this riveting documentary, packed with unreleased interviews, we explore the revolutionary ideologies of the legend Bob Marley.

An action/adventure film directed by Dickie Jobson. It tells the story of a Jamaican fisherman whose solitude is shattered when he rescues two Americans from the wreckage of a plane crash. The fisherman, called Countryman, is hurled into a political plot by the dangerous Colonel Sinclair. Countryman uses his knowledge of the terrain and his innate combat skills to survive.

The film was shot in Jamaica and featured a reggae soundtrack performed by Lee "Scratch" Perry, Bob Marley & the Wailers, Steel Pulse, Dennis Brown, Aswad, Toots & The Maytals & Rico Rodriguez. It was written by Jobson and produced by Island Records founder Chris Blackwell and has become a cult classic.
