UK/IRL Trailer for Kevin Macdonald’s MARLEY Documentary

The trailer for the highly anticipated Bob Marley documentary has arrived.

Directed by Kevin MacDonald (‘The Last King of Scotland,’ ‘State of Play’), it is a documentary on the life, music, and legacy of legendary Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician, Bob Marley. The film was premiered at the 2012 Berlin Film Festival, and set to hit SXSW Festival which will run from 8th – 13th March 2012 in Austin, Texas.

It is the first feature backed by the Marley family as well as the legend’s longtime music label head Chris Blackwell which should make for the most insightful look at his life yet as it follows “the musician, revolutionary and legend from his earliest days to his rise to international superstardom” using rare footage, archival photos and incredible performances and interviews with his family, friends and bandmates. Blackwell executive produces alongside Marley’s son, Ziggy.
