NEVER WATCHING MOVIES: ROCKERS + Intro

Making it in the music business in Kingston, Jamaica, is hard, and nobody knows it better than regularly unemployed drummer Horsemouth (Leroy Wallace). Although talented, he earns precious little for his music and is obliged to try hustling vinyl records on the side. It's a lousy gig, but Horsemouth takes his lumps amiably, until some brash members of the local Mafia steal his motorbike. Determined to get it back, he and his friends concoct a daring scheme. 

Featuring performances and music by many key reggae artists (Burning Spear, Gregory Isaacs, Big Youth, Dillinger and Jacob Miller, and music from Bunny Wailer, Junior Murvin, The Heptones, Junior Byles, Scratch and the Upsetters, Justin Hines and the Dominoes, Third World, The Maytones and Rockers Allstars), Rockers presents both fourth wall breaking and fly on the wall narrative elements in this portrait of 70s Jamaica. 

Join us for the very rare opportunity to watch this cult classic and pivotal piece of Jamaican cinema on the big screen. 

There will be an intro before the film and ticket sales from this screening will contribute a donation to Hurricane Melissa relief efforts, more information in the lead up to screening (@neverwatchingmovies on Instagram) and on the day.
