Né le 6 février 1945 à Saint Ann, village pauvre de la Jamaïque, Bob Marley est le fruit des amours d'une mère d'origine ghanéenne et d'un père anglais qui les abandonne. L'enfant métis, en butte aux railleries, trouve refuge dans la musique. La sortie de son premier album coïncide avec l'indépendance de l'île, en 1962. En 1964, le premier single de son groupe, les Wailers, mélange de ska et de reggae, lance sa carrière. En parallèle, Bob Marley s'initie au rastafarisme et vénère Haïlé Sélassié, empereur d'Ethiopie. Sous l'influence de la marijuana et sous sa parure de dreadlocks, la légende est en marche. Après une fulgurante carrière, Bob Marley meurt d'un cancer généralisé en 1981. Pour réaliser ce portrait, Kevin Macdonald a collaboré avec la famille du chanteur...

00:30We don't trust people.
01:00The next day we were out in Central Park jogging and we was going up this hill and all of a sudden he stumbled and we went and he laid him down on the side of the trail and he started shaking and he had foaming at the mouth.
01:21And I looked at him, he looked real strange and the guys gathered around and they said something in Patois and he had a raw safari and jumped up off the ground, scared me to death.
01:33I mean, he was there shaking his phone and the next thing I know he jumped up.
01:37We took him to the hospital next door to my house.
01:43The doctor told Alan and me that Bob Morley had cancer and that it had spread.
01:52He had cancer all over his body, lungs, brain, all over the place.
02:00It was incredible that he was able to keep working.
02:02But the doctor told us that we shouldn't do anything, that we should just let him stay on the concert tour, that he was so strong and powerful that one day he was going to walk out on stage and he was going to fall dead.
02:18But that he could not be treated, but that he could not be treated and he could not be helped.
02:26How did he take the news?
02:27I mean, how did it happen?
02:28Bad.
02:30He took the news bad.
02:34I knew he'd had a problem with his toe before that, but I had forgotten about it.
02:42I think everybody seemed to have forgotten about it.
02:44Because if he'd been going to the regular check-ups, you know, he might be around today.
