The Harder They Come (1972)


A crime film directed by Perry Henzell.
A young man goes to the city and has to live with the preacher because he is poor. He constantly gets in trouble there until he makes a record and gets into the drug trade. He ends up running from the law for a very long time as his song becomes popular.
There was a scene of literal bible thumping in the beginning and a character with the craziest dreads I've ever seen. There was also a plane with rasta-code on the side. It read "6y jha" or "sky jah". I thought the overall film was alright, so I'm rating it o.k.
