It presents Marley’s life in the context of a society still struggling to define itself, politically, socially and economically, which should make it much easier for young people to digest the legend and assimilate the aura. However, there are basic issues which people who knew Marley well enough had hoped would have been resolved by this film but on which the movie failed to deliver.
