    Rasta Revelation By Jah Shakespear

    n Kingston, Jamaica, Ras Fire is murdered, a Dutch Rasta man with very special characteristics. Johan Bode travels to Jamaica to investigate the case on the spot. It’s a trip full of natural mystic, infused with numerous well adapted songs. Gradually the history of the most influential black freedom movement of the twentieth century unfolds. Step by step Johan reveals the truth behind the murder of Ras Fire, to end up in the Promised Land, Ethiopia.
