This feature length documentary charts the story of the great Bunny ‘Striker’ Lee. A legend himself, there’s not a lot of pioneers of roots and reggae that he didn’t work with, becoming the go-to producer for that dub sound coming out of Jamaica in the sixties and seventies, further cementing his legacy when he started licensing his productions straight to London labels. Diggory Kenrick’s doco calls on not only Lee himself to tell the story, but features the likes of U Roy, Dennis Alcapone, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Sly and Robbie, Johnny Clarke and Johnny Holt among others.

Rise Up is a journey into the heart of Jamaica - the island that gave birth to the worldwide cultural phenomenon of Reggae. In a society where talent abounds and opportunity is scarce, three distinct and courageous artists fight to rise up from obscurity and write themselves into the pages of history. With music and appearances by legends Lee "Scratch" Perry, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, and a slew of soon-to-be superstars, Rise Up follows artists in the dangerous streets, back alleys and crowded dance halls of Kingston and the countryside. These artists demonstrate the raw power of hope and courage in a land which is largely unseen, but certainly not unsung.

Du ghetto au star system, Made in Jamaica expose le destin d'artistes exceptionnels. Le film présente, au travers des performances des pères du Reggae et des stars de la nouvelle génération rassemblés pour la première fois, la situation actuelle de cette île. Made in Jamaïca met en scène les leaders des mouvements Reggae et Dance Hall, et montre comment, de l'esclavage et de la misère, naît dans une île de moins de trois millions d'habitants un chant de révolte qui résonne aux quatre coins du monde. Le reggae est à la fois une musique de souffrance et d'espérance ; c'est le blues version Jamaïque.
