This week's edition of Afrika in Focus analyses the Biopic of Bob Marley, ONE LOVE.
We explain the rationale for the movie and stress that certain factors like the marketability of the film and the type of message the producers / directors of the film wanted to portray were all considerations before the release of the film.
The portrayal of Marley in the biopic will be a watered down version of what Bob Marley really stood for.
We explain why the true image of Bob Marley was watered down to suit a commercial audience.
We also state that Bob Marely was a man who was well in tune with his Afrikan heritage and his songs and political activism highlighted this and is something the film will not portray.
We end by stating Hollywood NEVER gives a true reflection of great Afrikan historical figures and Bob Marley is no exception.
Hollywood will portray whatever image they want to portray to suit their agenda and capitalistic tendencies.
We advise go and watch the biopic/ film but always have your third eye at hand and understand that what you are watching is only part of the story.
