A heartfelt new biopic of the Jamaican musical icon, his rise to fame and his attempts to bring peace through music.

Produced in conjunction with the Marley estate, One Love celebrates the life and music of an icon who inspired generations through his message of love and Pan-African unity. The film focuses on the period when Marley, having survived an assassination attempt, moved to London to record Exodus. Kingsley Ben-Adir gives an uncanny performance that wholly conjures Marley's charisma while also teasing the musician's sense of isolation, stemming from a childhood marked by abandonment. Lashana Lynch plays Rita Marley and their scenes together capture the warmth and frustration of a long-term, rocky relationship connected by music, religion and time. For Marley, music was the only way to confront his personal traumas, bring his people together and change the world.

Closed Caption.

Programmed in conjunction with the Office of Pluralism and Leadership (OPAL) in celebration of Caribbean Carnival
