With a piece in his hand, he takes on the man!
Perry Henzell’s The Harder They Come marked the epochal cultural moment that first brought reggae to the international stage and made Jimmy Cliff a star. Fifty years later, the film is still as electric as ever. A Scarface-y blend of crime drama and music, we follow a country-boy in search of fame as he journeys through Jamaica under the guises of laborer, recording artist, convict, ganja dealer, and outlaw folk hero.
With a piece in his hand, he takes on the man!
