Cult Jamaican classic starring reggae star Jimmy Cliff as Ivanhoe Martin, a country boy who comes to Kingston to make it big in the music industry. Hampered by payola & music industry corruption, Ivanhoe turns to ganja-dealing to try & make ends meet. Events spiral out of his control & he soon finds himself on the run from the police. The celebrated soundtrack is peppered with reggae classics by the likes of Toots & the Maytals, Desmond Dekker, The Melodians & Cliff himself who performs, among others, the title track & the timeless ' Many Rivers to Cross'.
