Rockers (1978) Film Screening for Jamaican Independance Day

What began as a documentary about the reggae scene in the 1970's and turned into a feature length film, Rockers is a great lighting in a bottle film with a stellar cast of iconic Jamaican musicians. Not only is it a fantastic film with an amazing soundtrack but it also encapsulates this era of music in an extraordinary way. To celebrate Jamaican Independence Day, BGW film club presents a screening of this film. They’re screening it on August 8th with a post-screening discussion.
