Watch the trailer:
Agitator. Innovator. Genius. Bear witness to the legend that is Lee “Scratch” Perry. From his early days as a mentor to the young Bob Marley, to his peak musicmaking period of the mid to late 70s, known as the Black Ark Studio years (the studio he built out of a shack, and subsequently burned down during a drug-fuelled frenzy), this film is an intoxicating interview, Reggae and dub filled extravaganza, venerating the life and times of a man once called “the Salvador Dali of Reggae.” (2008, 90 min, digital video)
