Director Theodoros Bafaloukos’ seminal 1977 classic of reggae cinema operates as a fitting rejoinder to Perry Henzell’s illustrious midnight movie "The Harder They Come" (1973). Bafaloukos uses verite camera techniques to capture the Rastafarian culture of late ’70s Jamaica in a simple story about a reggae drummer named "Horsemouth" (Leroy Wallace) who taps the resources of his musician friends to take back goods stolen by the local Mafia.
