Do you remember the power and spirit that Reggae music brought to us back in the 1970's? That torch still burns brightly for a group of elder Rasta hills-men from Nonsuch, Portland, Jamaica. They survive by living close to nature, working the land organically and harvesting wild fruits and bush medicines from the jungle. For over 30 years in obscurity they have also been creating a unique yet familiar style of Roots Reggae music. From the foothills of Jamaica's Blue Mountains, Johnnie Walker and the Disappointers are now stepping out with their powerful and positive music. In a stunning new DVD that examines their natural lifestyle, philosophy and the creation of their music, this genre-busting documentary offers a very realistic glimpse into what it is to be a Rasta elder in the 21st century.
