That encounter soon found expression in Punky Reggae Party, a song that openly referenced the punk scene and captured a rare moment when reggae and punk met not as trends but as parallel expressions of resistance in a city marked by social tension.

Bob Marley was not just observing the punk movement from a distance; he stepped directly into it. While in London in the late 1970s, Marley saw The Clash live, recognizing in their music the same urgency, defiance, and political charge that fueled reggae.

This clip offers a glimpse into the film’s structure, spanning over four decades of Roger Steffens’ reggae archives & our own footage. Please note: the lower resolution is intentional at this stage, as the film has not yet been registered with the copyright office.

What makes this moment even more special: Nina Simone had written a song in homage to Bob Marley, but not in the way anyone expected. I won’t reveal the title here, u will be able to hear it in the coming months on KCRW Vintage 24, as they reissue the 350 hours of Roger’s REGGAE BEAT radio show

This poster captures a moment when reggae culture traveled hand-to-hand, long before social media. Designed by Robert Steinhilber, reflects the serious, roots-driven spirit of The Gladiators’ music.

Once that’s in place, we’ll be able to plan the release properly. If all goes well, release Spring 2026.

But hopefully nothing that changes the heart of the film.
We’re also finally in the process of applying for Errors & Omissions insurance, the last significant step before the film can be approved for distribution.
