Horsemouth, a reggae musician from the ghetto of Kingston, Jamaica, wants to earn a bit of extra cash. He sets up a mobile record shop from his motorbike. However, when gangsters steal his motorbike, things go completely wrong. As tensions mount, Horsemouth and his friends hatch a plan to put an end to the gangsters’ reign of terror and restore justice for the people of Kingston. Fiction and documentary intertwine in ROCKERS (1978). Many members of Kingston’s vibrant reggae scene appear on camera, either in character or as themselves. As well as being a hilarious action story, ROCKERS is an extraordinary historical portrait and an iconic reggae drama. (1978 · Ted Bafaloukos · 100 min) Screening at De Uitkijk.
