Man Free Jamaica
Man Free takes a look into the lives of everyday people in the beautiful country of Jamaica. Told through the people themselves, the film takes a glimpse into the lives of young and old as they fight politics, crime, drugs and more. From the colorful and spirited taxi driver called Master Blaster to the young woman in her twenties running her own bakery, Man Free sheds a light on real life in Jamaica. It's not all reggae and good times. It's a land full of conflict and struggle and a yearning for a better life. But through all the hardships, you come to realize Jamaicans are truly people of grace.

The harder they come
Når den unge Ivan kommer til Kingston, drømmer han om et gjennombrudd som sanger, men virkeligheten i Jamaicas tøffe musikkindustri tvinger ham i stedet ut i kriminalitet. The Harder They Come ble et globalt gjennombrudd for både reggae og hovedrolleinnehaveren Jimmy Cliff, hvis musikk gjennomsyrer filmen - fra den ikoniske tittellåta til ”You Can Get It If You Really Want”. En rå og rytmisk beretning i backbeat om drømmer som ikke dør selv om oddsene er mot en.
