A stellar team of award-winning filmmakers and producers

"The RasTa projects is a labour of love that has been for six years in the making.

It's born out of the experience of having met Bob Marley in Montreal during my early teens and chance encounters with Rastafarians all around the world. Our story is truly about "the movement of Jah people and their historical and cultural links to other peoples."

- Patricia Marie Scarlett, Executive Producer & Producer
