First poster revealed for Bob Marley documentary

Magnolia Pictures has released the first official poster for the upcoming Bob Marley documentary Marley, which will have its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival this month, followed by its North American premiere at SXSW. Magnolia will then release Marley theatrically and on VOD Friday, April 20th.

Bob Marley’s universal appeal, impact on music history and role as a social and political prophet is both unique and unparalleled. Marley is the definitive life story of the musician, revolutionary, and legend, from his early days to his rise to international superstardom. Made with the support of the Marley family, the film features rare footage, incredible performances and revelatory interviews with the people that knew him best.

From Academy Award-winning director Kevin Macdonald (One Day In September, The Last King of Scotland) comes the story of a towering figure of musical history, whose music and message has transcended different cultures, languages and creeds to resonate around the world today as powerfully as when he was alive.
