A documentary on Lee Scratch Perry, legendary artist of the reggae and dub variety, a pioneer and founder of the sound – if you don’t know and consider yourself a fan and/or aficionado then this might be a good intro. But to be honest you should do your homework and peep this guys discography and stop bumping that same best of Bob Marley album. Namsayin?
The Upsetter: The Life and Music of Lee Scratch Perry, narrated by Academy Award Winner Benico Del Toro in theatres March 2011

Damn, can’t wait to see this. There was another doc’ on Lee Perry in the 90’s; cool to see him but the documentary wasn’t so hot. This one looks tight.
Saw him last time he was in MTL:
