Made in Jamaica is a powerful portrait of the leaders of the reggae movement and how it has become a worldwide phenomenon. Its the story of how a small island nation took their pain and turned it into songs that resonate around the world. Reggae is Jamaicas blues: a music of both desperation and hope. Reggae music sprang into life in the 70s. It was the first time that a third world country had made its voice heard on such a large scale. Now a new generation of reggae artists has emerged and its fathers are still in Jamaica. Made in Jamaica recounts the individual stories of these artists who represent the Jamaican Dream. USA, 2006, 120 min.
