Jamaican political violence had escalated to unprecedented levels of cruelty and bloodshed by 1976. The island nation’s prime minister, Michael Manley, leader of the People’s National Party, and his opponent, the leader of the conservative Jamaica Labor Party, Edward Seaga. Both political parties formed partnerships with local gangs and gangsters, employing any measures necessary to buttress their political authority with physical force and boost election turnout.
Having grown up with gang leaders on both sides of the split and living in the harsh Trenchtown district of Kingstown, Marley was no stranger to the street violence prevalent in Jamaica. Both the PNP and the JLP sought his support because he was the most famous inhabitant of Jamaica; nonetheless, he was wary of the political system as a whole and understood the risks involved in picking a side.
In hopes of defusing the tensions between the two rival factions, Marley planned to headline the Smile Jamaica concert. The film explores a number of conspiracy theories around the occurrence.
The documentary was produced by Netflix and All Rise Films. It features various prominent personalities, including Arnold Bertram, Cindy Breakspeare, Nancy Burke, Jimmy Cliff, Carl Colby, Tommy Cowan, Ras Gilly, Vivien Goldman, Laurie Gunst, Diane Jobson, Wayne Jobson and Edward Seaga.
