Rockers

Newly Added • 1h 39m

Directed by Theodoros Bafaloukos • 1978 • Jamaica
Starring Leroy Wallace, Richard ‘Dirty Harry’ Hall, Monica Craig

Taking inspiration from both BICYCLE THIEVES and the Robin Hood legend, ROCKERS is one of the definitive reggae films—an effortlessly cool, almost documentary-like immersion into Jamaica’s 1970s music scene featuring some of the era’s defining artists. Drummer Leroy “Horsemouth” Wallace and saxophonist Richard “Dirty Harry” Hall star in this loose, laid-back story of oppressed musicians who set out to get even with the mafia-like figures who exploit them. Burning Spear, Gregory Isaacs, Big Youth, Dillinger, and Jacob Miller are just some of the sensational artists who appear and whose music graces the legendary soundtrack.
