For seven years the two directors Noël Dernesch and Moritz Springer as well as cameraman Marcus Winterbauer (among others "Rhythm is it") followed the two European exceptional artists of Reggae Gentleman - German and Alborosie - Italian on their search for authenticity beyond the western consumer societies in the land of Rastafari and Reggae: JAMAIKA. Among others, you will meet Richie Stephens, Damian Marley but also Natty - driver and friend of Gentleman, who gives an undisguised view of the daily struggle for survival away from the Caribbean island dream, get the contrasting intellectual insight into Jamaican politics and culture from the professor Carolyn Cooper and are confronted with astonishing truths by the primal rock of reggae, Jack Radics. Together with the protagonists we dive into a world where music becomes an outlet to counter poverty, criminality and lack of perspective, and which at the same time is characterized by a deep spiritual connection and gives courage. A world of which Alborosie says: "God lives here. But Satan too." - Welcome on board for JOURNEY TO JAH!
