yes it's a great video, it basically revolves around the death of Bogle, i don't think the film set out to do this but i think he died while they where making the film it ended up being a sort of tribute to him.
The most special scenes in the film are of Bogles funeral procession going straight through the ghetto, the streets are packed, you have his weeping mother at the front walking behind the slow moving car, followed by hundreds of mourners, but the amazing thing is that you have Gregory Isaacs on the side of the street singing live with full band, it's a very surreal moment when the camera is following the procession and then when it gets to gregory playing it focuses on him, it's a very clever piece of film and it's this scene alone that makes the film very special for me.
Well worth picking up, the dvd has been released in France and you can probabbly buy from websites like www.fnac.com or maybe thats .fr

Aside from enjoying one particular attractive young woman dancing with Bounty Killer, I found the first 15 or 20 minutes of the film to be very boring and I got the impression that I didn't need to waste any more time watching it because it wasn't going to go anywhere. I didn't know that the film focussed on Bogle's death and that Gregory had a cameo, or I would have fast forwarded to those parts to see if it made any emotional impact on me.
