Overview: Bob Marley’s music and message of love and redemption are known throughout the world. His universal appeal, impact on music history, and role as a social and political prophet is both unique and unparalleled.

This documentary looks at Marley’s life and legacy as one of the most influential singers, songwriters, musicians, and activists in history.

DVD Verdict: Bob Marley’s universal appeal, impact on music history, and role as a social and political prophet is both unique and unparalleled. Bob Marley - Marley (MVD Visual) is the definitive life story of the musician, revolutionary, and legend, from his early days to his rise to international super-stardom; made with the support of the Marley family, it contains rare footage, incredible performances, and revelatory interviews with the people who knew him best.

In my humble opinion, Bob Marley - Marley is an extraordinarily competent new documentary from director Kevin MacDonald on the great man and is wholly more heartfelt and impassioned than the recent Bob Marley film.

Not without its flaws here, they are far and few between and as someone who has loved Bob’s music from the very first note heard, what this documentary fundamentally does is help the viewer understand the meaning behind the Jamaican history and Rastafarian culture that laid the groundwork for Bob to become so successful.

A life worth documenting, for sure, Bob was a man of simple politics and simple messaging and his rise and humility is well recounted here with access to an impressive cast of the people closest to him.

Special Features:
120 Minutes of never before seen interviews with Rita Marley, Diane Jobson, Cindy Breakspear, Aunt Amy and Pearl Livingston.
