Jim Schembri, 3AW
Outstanding, thorough, often moving documentary about the tragically short life and huge influence of musician Bob Marley... by any fair measure, a great music documentary.

Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile
Macdonald and his editor have built a collage that really communicates in vibrant, cinematic language. Of course, it is about a musician, so rightly, it is wall to wall music

Brad Wheeler, Globe and Mail
