LONDON PREMIERE OF BOB MARLEY THE MAKING OF A LEGEND A SUCCESS

The London premiere of Bob Marley: The Making of a Legend was a huge success!
The final cut of the musical documentary on Bob Marley's early career premiered to a full house at London's BFI Southbank on Saturday 17 December -Please visit the BFI link: http://www.bfi.org.uk/whatson/bfi_southbank/events/african_odysseys_bob_marley_the_making_of_a_legend.
Among the distinguished audience were Bob Marley fans, actors and filmmakers, musicians, racing drivers, publishers, members of the press and film buffs. The main screen of the British Film Institute was a witness to showers of laughter and tears. "Memory is a very private thing", said Esther during the Q&A session after the screening.
Until now, NAACP Image Award actress Esther Anderson had refused to appear on camera to share her extraordinary story. The London Premiere did not disappoint the audience. Esther's personal account on camera was electrifying, taking the audience through a powerful emotional journey to the centre of her relationship with Bob Marley, while trying to overcome the obstacles of prejudice to create a Jamaican Reggae band like The Beatles or The Rolling Stones in the early seventies.
Among the most powerful moments in the film is The Wailers first rehearsal in 56 Hope Road, part of Esther Anderson's priceless video footage -Please visit the BBC news link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-12739915. "It brought tears to my eyes", many revealed during the BFI cocktail party after the screening. The black and white footage of Bob Marley and The Wailer revealed a most intimate portrait of the most important artist of the 20th century. This is accompanied by Esther's never-seen-before photographs of Bob Marley before the legend, plus her iconic images of Bob Marley and The Wailers form the albums Catch a Fire and Burnin'.

The film premiere also launched an amazing original Reggae soundtrack by the Wailers' bass player and Bob Marley's music arranger Aston Familyman Barrett with his son Aston Barrett Jr. Among the featured songs are "Love, Peace in Harmony" and "Spirit is Alive" by Esther's brother Chris Anderson; "Babylon is Burning" and "Love Reggae Music" by Akila Barrett, son of legendary Wailers drummer Carlie Barrett; "One World" by Francis Jocky; "So it Goes" by Marcia Higgs, daughter of Joe Higgs; "Lessons in my Life" by Andrew Tosh and Kymani Marley, sons of Peter Tosh and Bob Marley; "Cry for Love" by Tim Hain, featured in the promotional video; "ILiver I" by Lioness Fonts; and "Chant Down Babylon" by Singer Jah & Sabo Khani

ESTHER ANDERSON THE RIGHTFUL OWNER OF THE LOST FOOTAGE

On the eve of the film's work-in-progress screening at the BFI in London, BBC Journalist Ron Bhola wrote on 15 March: "A film charting the rise of Bob Marley and the Wailers to international stardom is set to get its first public viewing this weekend. The footage, taken in the early 1970's, was lost for almost 30 years, and only returned to its rightful owner in the year 2000. The BBC World Service went along to meet the film's creator, esther Anderson and to take a look at some of the footage as well as her photographs."
