Rockers Reggae Film Screening

73a Mai Hac De, Hanoi
From the organizer:
Reggae will be all the rage at a free screening of cult reggae adventure romp Rockers with reggae selections from three of Vietnam’s finest selectors before and after the film.
Rockers is a 1978 Jamaican film by Theodoros Bafaloukos, starring Leroy “Horsemouth” Wallace and many other top celebrity Reggae artists of the day, including Burning Spear, Gregory Isaacs, Jacob Miller, Jack Ruby, Big Youth, and Dillinger.
Horsemouth, a drummer living in a ghetto of Kingston, plans to make some extra money selling and distributing records but runs up against some gangsters when his motorbike is stolen. With the help of his friends, Horsemouth sets out to reclaim his bike while robbing from the rich and giving to the poor.
With a deep appreciation of Jamaican music and culture, Rockers tells a simple ‘Robin Hood’ tale of Rastafarian redemption and triumph over the forces of injustice and iniquity.
Free entry.
