Jimmy Cliff, Janet Bartley, Carl Bradshaw
1972
Wishing to become a successful reggae singer, a young Jamaican man finds himself tied to corrupt record producers and drug pushers.
The story of Ivanhoe Martin, a struggling reggae artist in Jamaica, was raw and authentic. Jimmy Cliff's performance was tight, capturing the struggle and realness of the character. The music was straight fire, and the film resonated with the themes of resilience and the pursuit of dreams that I'm all about. It's a powerful narrative that speaks to the power of music and the hustle and grind.
