[@selenamrtnz1]

Marley and his children have had a tremendous positive impact on the world. I first heard his music at age 16 in 1972 in San Francisco. I saw Bob in 1979 and have seen Ziggy several times. Tomorrow i will be seeing Stephen and Damien here in SF. MY 21 YO daughter saw Stephen and Damien this past week. I'm proud AF that my children have been touched and moved to be conscience humans and inspired to be positive and love all people. Yes I

[@ROOTS-MAN]

I just got back from Jamaica was there for three weeks , visiting Peter Tosh house and resting place and Bob Marley house and Bob Marley resting place. I seen where Bob grew up and It was a humbling experience. Like many I wish I had the chance to sit and reason with such a great man my uncle was fortunate enough to do this in the 70s. I will forever, take his music and his teachings fi man as it’s the current life I’ve been living of consciousness. one love Bob, more fire, more strength, more power oneness 🤎💪🏽

[@millicentcunningham1863]

You were blessed to have such a great experience and I was too!Back in March 2011 I visited his childhood home and museum. I remember the pile of rocks that his mom used to cook on outside, his bedroom, and the gift shop. Bob wouldn't have become who he did if it weren't for his humble beginnings ans various struggles, not just economically. I wonder what his white dad thought after he made it with music. I need to research if he tried to forge a relationship with him after the fact, smh. I can't think of anyone else, celeb or not that has a legacy like Bob's ❤ Have you seen and heard his grandson Skip? He makes great music and is like looking at Bob all over again! Just saw the One Love movie last night and despite the criticism it is being dealt (which I understand since the actor isn't Jamaican). Not easy to put on a Jamaican accent if you're not Jamaican but I think he did well. The actress who portrayed Bob's wife & rock, Rita was quite good. Very pretty! Idk how she did it with all Bomb women 😂. Funny not funny. I teared up in that scene where they fought bc I went through similar situation with my ex husband. God bless her!! It is o-mazing that she is still here to not only see it but help produce it as well. Bob & Rita forever 🇯🇲

[@millicentcunningham1863]

BTW, I'm jelly you spent three weeks! I've spent that long in The Dominican Republic bc it's my 2nd home but not anywhere else. I plan to do that soon bc my son is graduating high school this year and I'm going to invest more into myself. Will continue to guide and assist him but he will have to take on more responsibility. Be blessed!

[@thejedi5079]

Well, I have to admit that this is the most beautiful interview that I've seen with Bob, Apart from the 1st journalists in this documentary of his life and his humble ways, which he obviously learned from the Gospels and his family, "and Emperor Haile Selassie, and that Rasta"s believe that he will return just like Jesus Christ. But the fundamental teachings are the same. I think All people need to take a leaf out of his book and start to come together and believe in his fundamental message of ONE LOVE and stop the Isms and the Scisms, "and find the message of the gospels of Jesus Christ and start to live in harmony,."Just how Christ wanted us ALL to live. Bob was a highly intelligent man and humble man, "and he knew that being Rich was not treasure and money, "but having family and true friends which is a hard thing to find these days because people have forgotten that we are all brothers and sisters and no one person is above or below the next. We all could have done with Bob Marley, to be a world leader and a man who I personally believe had the charisma and charm to bring the people together and this was an existential threat to the psychopaths who run this lunatic asylum now, "and this is why they got rid of him. We will get there in the end and beat this world just like Jesus Christ did. Yes, I was very annoyed with this Documentary at the start because of the bigots who slandered his way of life and his message, "because they were only doing what their masters were telling them to write and report what they saw. Because they hated him just like they hated Jesus Christ for his message of love and peace and harmony with each other. Because there is no profit in peace and health. They only want wars and fear because that is how they control The minds of the masses. And it is us the people, who have the power, "to put a stop to their evil wickedness. It is we who hold the key," by saying no to them at the top who think this world belongs to them, "and it is we the people that have this power. And only when we realise this, shall we beat them. We all have to stand up for our rights, "our God-given rights to get them out of powerful offices, ", and put into power a man of good standing and a man who is from the ghettos," and a true man/men of the people who can end the tyranny of this evil world and lead us all into a world of peace with no weapons, "and a world were children do not suffer starvation and witness bombs reigning down all around them. For we are all children of God and Love and peace. We all need to do this now before it is too late for the human race. We know who it is who is modifying the weather and creating misery. All we need to do is put on the LEGEND album and listen to Bob's message to pick up our crosses and love each other. But I am in no way putting Bob up there with the creator and this is very important to note. Bob was a messenger of God and they hated his influence on the people who especially have started to transcend 'who in turn can teach others the message and the power of Love. For we are all brothers and sisters and we should not be hurting each other 'but lifting each other up and inspiring each other. The leaders of this world are the accusers and the ones who have brainwashed all religions into believing that we are all enemies because of our inability to understand how the provocateurs at the top of the pyramid have convinced us all. To purposely hate each other because of our differences in culture 'when infact we are all the same family. We are being set up for civil unrest and to purge eachother while they sit back and let us do this to each other. Due to lack of understanding of how the provocateurs of the darkness manipulate us all with control of food and land in which we are all squashed into small spaces and living on top of eachother causing stress and anxiety. We all need to take a stand and take back the land God gave to us all. Why should they the 1% who have the money own the land and tell us where we can and can't live. Or if we should have to pay for electric and water that God gave to us all !. Do people realise that every person on this planet could fit onto the isle of man a small island off Britain ?. Yet we are led to believe that we are overpopulated and that food is scarce etc ?. There is enough land for us all to have at least 3 acres of land each and food for all. But they have convinced people that we are the ones ruining the planet ! BS ! We throw away 65% of all the food grown each year because it is carefully rationed to make us believe that we live in scarcety and not enough to go around.. Just because they are losing control of the narrative and so have to make us believe that we have to be at war with eachother! It's a set up people so please wake up to this BS. God bless us all and may this message reach us all before it's too late.

At the 20:00 minute mark, the narrator says, "Bob Marley was born in Trenchtown." This is not true, and this claim which the documentary producers could've easily checked, really calls the information being put out here into disrepute. I already had issues with the negativity being portrayed about Jamaicans, blacks, rastas and their viewpoints etc but getting the birthplace of Bob wrong.......wow, very sloppy indeed!
