Marley
Dir: Kevin Macdonald
2012
****
Marley puts all myths to rest and tells the real story, like a good documentary should. It may be a little overlong but it is definitive, leaving nothing out about the life, career and death of the legendary singer. It is a very honest account too, those who surrounded themselves with Marley, his friends and family, paint the picture and tell you everything you need to know about the man. One thing that is undeniable is the impact he had in the world, the peace he brought to Jamaica to the present day marketing of his image. Kevin Macdonald has produced another admirable documentary with style and grace that other documentarians should take note of.
