BSFF: Peter Tosh Town: Origin Of A Rebel Wailer / Beach Inna Bondage

Peter Tosh Town explores the life, music and revolutionary legacy of Jamaican reggae icon Peter Tosh (1944–1987), one of the founding members of The Wailers alongside Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer. The documentary takes viewers back to Belmont, a rural community in Westmoreland, Jamaica, where Tosh’s extraordinary journey began. Through rare archival footage, historical recordings and personal testimonies from family members, friends, neighbours and scholars, the documentary traces Tosh’s transformation from a young musician growing up in rural Jamaica into one of reggae most outspoken international voices for equal rights, justice and liberation.

Beach inna Bondage explores the growing struggle for beach access in Jamaica. Since the 1950s, public access to the island’s beaches has steadily declined, leaving less than one percent of the coastline publicly accessible for Jamaicans.
