Bob Marley's story here comes filtered through Esther Anderson, the Jamaican actress who was his girlfriend for years and shot much of the footage herself. Anderson, once nominated for an Oscar, narrates their life together at Marley's Hope Road compound in Kingston and later in London, and her personal camera gives the film access that standard concert documentaries do not have: quiet moments between rehearsals, arguments, domestic routine. The film pairs that intimate footage with what is billed as Marley's last interview given in the UK, plus live performances including "Lively Up Yourself," giving a sense of him on stage as well as off it. Director Sonia Anderson builds the film around this dual perspective, letting the relationship carry the biography rather than a chronological career recap. The result leans on people who were actually in the room at Hope Road, and the closeness of that vantage point, rather than a survey of hits or history, is the reason the film has anything new to show.
