"Rockers"
1978
Directed by Theodoros Bafaloukos

Set within a world of poor Jamaican Rastafarians, this reggae film stars Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace as a hustling drummer and record distributor who tries to get his stolen motorbike back from mob thugs so that he can spread the message of his music. The plot is really secondary, however, to the exceptional soundtrack, with music by Burning Spear, Bunny Wailer, Third World, Peter Tosh, Inner Circle and more.  90 minutes.
