𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗼𝘀𝗵 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗻: 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿
𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗼𝘀𝗵 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗻: 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿 (2025) is a four-part documentary series exploring the life, music and revolutionary legacy of Jamaican reggae icon Peter Tosh (1944–1987), one of the founding members of The Wailers alongside Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer. Co-directed by Tosh’s daughter Niambe Tosh, alongside Andre Livingston and Cesar Buelto, the series takes viewers back to Belmont, a rural community in Westmoreland, Jamaica, where Tosh’s extraordinary journey began.

Through rare archival footage, historical recordings and personal testimonies from family members, friends, neighbours and scholars, the documentary traces Tosh’s transformation from a young musician growing up in rural Jamaica into one of reggae’s most outspoken international voices for equal rights, justice and liberation. Beyond his pioneering contributions to reggae music, the series explores his Rastafarian beliefs, his uncompromising opposition to political and social oppression, and his groundbreaking advocacy for the legalisation of cannabis.

Central to the documentary is Tosh’s deep connection to his birthplace and the community that shaped his identity, music and political consciousness. By returning to Belmont, where Tosh is also buried, the filmmakers illuminate the cultural and historical roots of his rebellious spirit while examining how his legacy continues to resonate with new generations. More than a conventional music biography, Peter Tosh Town: Origin of a Rebel Wailer celebrates the enduring relationship between music, resistance and community, honouring an artist whose calls for equal rights and justice remain as relevant today as they were during his lifetime.

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗴𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗰𝗮’𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲
𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗴𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗰𝗮’𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 (2026) is a documentary by filmmaking duo 𝗘𝗺𝗶𝗲𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀 and 𝗘𝗹𝘀𝗶𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗲𝗿 in collaboration with 𝗝𝗮𝗕𝗕𝗘𝗠 and 𝗞𝗲𝘇𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗱𝗶 exploring the growing struggle for beach access in Jamaica. Since the 1950s, public access to the island’s beaches has steadily declined, leaving less than one percent of the coastline publicly accessible for Jamaicans. Over the decades, most of Jamaica’s beaches have been captured by private and tourist interests, and particularly since the 2000s large-scale hotel developments have limited beach access for Jamaicans. This film follows the grassroots movement resisting the privatization of Jamaican beaches by zooming in on three frontline struggles: Bob Marley Beach near Kingston, the Blue Lagoon in the parish of Portland, and Mammee Bay Beach on the island’s North Coast. The interviewees, all Jamaicans, reveal how the 1956 Beach Control Act, which is still in effect today, vests ownership of the foreshore in the Jamaican state (and actually the British Crown) and traces how this colonial-era law, combined with the island’s all-inclusive tourism model, has displaced communities, disrupted livelihoods, and degraded environments. Interwoven with archival footage, news clips, and recordings of protest rallies and court cases, the interviewees situate today’s beach access struggles within Jamaica’s troubled history of land ownership following emancipation and independence. They argue that the island’s tourism industry replicates plantation logic by monopolizing land, concentrating wealth, exporting profits, and, ultimately, marginalizing the people. 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗴𝗲 shows that beach access, which is not only an issue in Jamaica but across the Caribbean and beyond, is an urgent matter of historical, economic, social, cultural and environmental justice, raising the question of who the tropical paradise of sun, sand, and sea truly serves, and at what cost…
