A lovely little documentary, especially for big fans of the music

There are interviews with lots of old reggae gods, several of whom are no longer with us five years later (Toots, Lee Perry, Bunny Lee). Dandy Livingstone, aged 74, features throughout because he's so good to listen to. He has a beautiful speaking voice, is very composed and happy to share memories. At one point, he sits down at his keyboard and sings a bit of 'A Message to You, Rudy', and it's just wonderful.

There are dramatizations of Jamaicans in London in the 60s and 70s that are low key and not jarring or cringey like you might expect.

'If that shuffle not in the music, it's not reggae' - Bunny Lee.
