Synopsis

"Made in Jamaica" is framed by the story of the demise of Bogle, the dancehall icon who was shot on the street during a dance night in January 2005. But the story is also about the history of reggae music, which is inextricably bound to the history of oppression, violence and slavery. The film introduces a host of musicians who discuss their roots in the streets of Kingston, and about the ubiquitous music and what it stands for.
