THE HARDER THEY COME d. Perry Henzell, 1972 + Q&A with Lloyd Bradley, author of Bass Culture: When Reggae Was King, for Black History Month presented by Wimbledon Film Club at Curzon Wimbledon (04 OCT 20:30).

“Country boy Ivanhoe Martin, played by musician Jimmy Cliff, arrives in Kingston to start a new chapter of his life. He’s looking for work and hoping to make it as singer. Harsh realities collide with wishful fantasies in a wild ride to an inevitable end. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the cult Jamaican crime film, credited with bringing reggae to the world. Presented in association with Wimbledon Bookfest as part of Black History Month.” (WFC)
