A new film celebrates the life and music of an icon who inspired generations through his message of love and unity.

Bob Marley’s biography provides testament to the unparalleled influence of his artistry upon global culture. Since his passing on May 11, 1981, Bob Marley’s legend looms larger than ever, as evidenced by an ever-lengthening list of accomplishments attributable to his music, which identified oppressors and agitated for social change while simultaneously allowing listeners to forget their troubles and dance.

Bob Marley was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994; in December 1999, his 1977 album Exodus was named Album of the Century by Time magazine and his song “One Love” was designated Song of the Millennium by the BBC.

Bob Marley: One Love invites us to experience Bob’s powerful story of overcoming adversity and the journey behind his revolutionary music.

Produced in partnership with the Marley family and starring Kingsley Ben-Adir as the legendary musician and Lashana Lynch as his wife Rita, Bob Marley: One Love will be in theaters February 14, 2024.
