Trailer Synopsis Cast

Lee Scratch Perry's Vision of Paradise is a unique project in many ways. It is the life story of the legendary musician, but it is not a biography, it is a fairytale documentary! The director followed Lee Perry for thirteen years and discovered an unbelievable story, a revelation, told about and with one of the major protagonists of contemporary music, the other half of the story that has never been told. The movie can be seen as a guide for how to change the world with music, with a positive attitude, mindset or, as Lee Perry calls it, vibration.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

So we went to the pub to meet our friends for drinks. Then we came home and I smoked an enormous water pipe of fragrant marijuana. Next we headed to a local Italian restaurant where we ate loads of delicious vegetarian food. Before stopping by a local Irish bar where pints of perfect Guinness were poured down our perfect necks. Then back home for another quick head spacing pipe, before heading to the local moving picture house to settle down and watch some Lee Scratch Perry.The man is a genius. The man is the creator. The man knows more about the universe and the world and music than most of the rest of us put together.Glory to The Word, Glory to The Sound and Glory to The Iwah of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I, Jah RasTafari.
