What did 2024’s biopIc, ONE LOVE, leave out—and why does it matter? This video goes beyond the sanitized legend of Bob Marley to explore his radical politics, Rastafarian beliefs, and the Cold War forces that made him a threat to the CIA and Jamaican elites. From surviving a 1976 assassination attempt to recording Exodus in exile, Marley’s life was shaped by resistance, not just rhythm. I also unpack how politics behind the film raise major questions about Zionism, diaspora, and Black masculinity, and why that erasure matters.
