“It’s more than my father’s story,” the reggae legend’s son, Ziggy Marley, said in an interview with Billboard. “It talks about his life, but I think now is the time for this message of ‘one love’ to be put into the global view. I think it’s a very important time and we’re in a very significant time in the world, so you know, the idea of ‘one love,’ It’s pretty cool to have that out there.”
“We were there from the beginning, we were the one who initiated the idea to do the film on behalf of my family. And so it was the first time that we actually took the prerogative to go out and seek partners to do the film with telling the story how we wanted to tell it, making sure it’s authentic. We were very, very involved in it from the get go to the end.
“And it was good,” added Ziggy. “It was a good adventure.”
