REASONING
“In recent years there has been a proliferation of film and video
projects on Rastafari. Rasta: A Soul’s Journey, however, is the first

the diverse voices and dynamic realities of Rastafari.
Telling this story through the eyes of a young adherent linked to Bob Marley—the movement’s global icon—promises to give audiences unique insights into both the popular culture and spiritual levity that binds communicants from Kingston to Cape Town.”
