The Harder they come

Jamaica 1973 N.Z. Premiere

This film by Perry Henzell was described by Time: "Fast, tough and sinuous with a score of Jamaican reggae that jauntily accentuates its vigour; this saga of a small-time pot pusher and pop star is a kind of Caribbean "Threepenny Opera.'" And U.S. Nation said: "Deeply appealing.. also a disturbing study of a post-colonial society in ruins."
