Those voices are not foolproof. Christopher Farley, author of Before the Legend: The Rise of Bob Marley, says sifting through accounts of the singer is quite a feat. Bob's voice is quite faint in the film," Macdonald says. "But through all these different voices around him, you build a rounded portrait." He said, 'What kind of film do you want to make?' And I said I want to make a film about the man behind the icon," Macdonald says. "We're all so overinundated with Bob Marley imagery and the commodified version of Bob Marley. His music is everywhere, and yet I never felt like I knew who the man was, and what he was really singing about." Ziggy Marley enlisted Scottish director Kevin Macdonald to make that definitive film. Macdonald is best-known for his feature films, including The Last King of Scotland. The filmmaker recalls his first meeting with Ziggy Marley as one of initial skepticism and eventual agreement. I bought this ashtray for my spouse or me really. he smokes in bed and was constantly dumping the ashtray every time he moved. Our comforter was a mess. This is great no more ashes on the bed. I bought a new comforter and there he flipped this ashtray completely over. No ashes came out.

I said to [Marley's daughter] Cedella Marley, 'I really want to talk to the white Marleys.' And she said, 'Oh, I know them — they're our cousins. We used to live next to them when we lived in Kingston,' " Macdonald says. "So she gave me the number and I phoned them up, and one of them was willing to talk."

The next time you see a ‘true’ rastafarian, look for the colors. More than likely he or she will be wearing a hat, a shirt, or an entire outfit of some kind signifying his/her total commitment to the movement.

In that interview, Peter Marley, Bob's second cousin on his father's side, talks about the time Bob walked into the family construction business seeking money from his relatives — who rejected him. Bob wrote the song "Cornerstone" about that rejection. You only have to see the film to know that they're not being very protective, because there's a lot of stuff which one would think Rita might find difficult, to do with other women in Bob's life — and there were many, many of them," Macdonald says. That is part of the fascination with Bob Marley," Farley says. "No matter how close you get to him — like those mountains in Jamaica, shrouded by mist — you keep walking toward them and they are still shrouded by mist. There's still more to find, a path to get past the mist."They are perfect for my sunroom and patio. Because of the lid/spin feature, they prevent ashes from being blown onto the tabletop, and extinguish cigarettes that are not all the way put out. While I am not one to let my ashtray fill up, it is nice that they hold quite a few cigarette butts, completely out of sight, which allows you to not feel that you constantly need to empty an ashtray when you have company over who is smoking as well. Being Bob's eldest son, I never read a book or anything that anyone did on Bob, because I was like, 'Who are these people?' " he says. "I reached a point where I said, to represent my father properly, I need to be involved in a definitive thing." Another candid moment in the documentary is Rita Marley's admission that she was less of a wife to Bob than a "guardian angel," skilled at ejecting girls from her husband's dressing room. Macdonald says such moments prove that although his film is authorized by the Marley family, it's no whitewashed portrait.
