The story of the life and mysterious death of Reggae star Peter Tosh.

September 30, 2002

This 1991 feature goes behind the music -- not to mention the clouds of thick, sweet smoke -- to conjure up the Trenchtown roots and revolutionary politics of original Wailer Peter Tosh, who was mysteriously gunned down at his home in 1987.

Weaving together concert footage, archival clips and interviews with musicians, friends and rasta elders, director Nicholas Campbell draws a spellbinding portrait of the stoned shape-shifter, his calls to arms and his bloody end.
