Cult Jamaican classic starring reggae star Jimmy Cliff as Ivanhoe Martin, a country boy who comes to Kingston to make it big in the music industry. Hampered by payola and music industry corruption, Ivanhoe turns to ganja dealing to try and make ends meet. Events spiral out of his control and he soon finds himself on the run from the police.

My first Jamaican movie and I think it will also be the last for a long time. Not that I didn't like it, but I don't really seek out this genre. And let's be honest, this film is great in one crucial aspect - its music. It plays a fundamental role here and can easily distract you from the plot, which you won't remember much afterwards.
