Two great reggae documentaries to check out!
Before Reggae Hit The Town – This short documentary explores the African origins of Jamaican music, including Kumina, Pocomania and Rastafarian music traditions. Although just a "student film," the production, narration and story arc make it an engaging watch.
Reggae History – This feature-length documentary includes several crucial performances segments by Delroy Washington, Roy Shirley, Nicky Thomas, Ijahman Levi, Lee "Scratch" Perry and more. The film looks at reggae's impact in England and how the music developed in Jamaican and the UK simultaneously.
