A journey into the heart of Jamaica and
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, RISEUP follows artists in the
dangerous streets, back alleys and crowded dancehalls 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.
