Jamaica. 1978. Disenchantment has spawned gang warfare in the cities. Violence begets violence. The number of murders cIimbs into the hundreds and yet Prime Minister MichaeI ManIey, and opposition Ieader Edward Seaga refuse to meet. Bob MarIey, himseIf a victim of this outbreak of vioIence, organises on behaIf of the Jamaican People, the giant "One Love Pease Concert". Held in Kingston on the 22nd ApriI 1978 the concert coincides with the twelfth anniversary of Haile SelIassie's visit to Jamaica. The film of this remarkabIe event includes performances from Peter Tosh, Jacob MiIler, Dennis Brown, U.Roy, and of course Bob Marley himself. lt climaxes with the historic moment when MarIey united Jamaica's staunchest politicaI foes for the very first time. MichaeI ManIey and Edward Seaga would not appear together again until May 1981 at the state funeraI of the very man who had so publicly attempted to heal their rift. With over 50 minutes of excIusive interviews shot in Jamaica especially for this DVD, "Heartland Reggae: The SpeciaI Edition" explores the circumstances around the "One Love Peace Concert" and examines its place in Jamaican musical, culturaI, and political history. |
