Rastafari-Action Film, Jamaica 1982, 102 min, Patois OV with English subtitles

A young American couple is rescued from a plane crash by the Countryman, a Rastafarian fisherman who lives in harmony with nature. When the two are suspected of smuggling drugs and espionage as a result of political intrigues, Countryman hides them and ultimately helps them to flee. An adventure in the Jamaican wilderness with spectacular stunts that defy gravity, and with a soundtrack that unites the reggae greats of the island: Bob Marley and The Wailers, Toots and The Maytals and Steel Pulse.
