In agreement with the last comment, it’s nice rita is having fun in Ghana, and obviously everyone will love her, she is bob’s wife after all but she has enough money to instantly build several schools, hospitals etc. so whats all this about raising money to build one little school or clinic, why doesn;t she just pay for them outright or setup a scheme that they can follow all over the country.
It’s all a farce if u ask me, i feel sad everytime i think of aston Barret and what he has suffered at the hands of the marleys, just because they have money to have won yet Aston remains pennyless. Don;t forget about the time when Astons father was kidnapped the day after he was asked to stop his US tour using the wailers name, this kidnapping of his elderly father halted the tour and he had to return to JA, luckily has father was returned a few weeks later, this is one of many such incidents of assasinations, kidnappings all closely linked to the marleys. Such a shame.....
Nice to see the film tho and what there up to over there, i’m happy for the people benefiting out there but not everyone knows the full story.
Read the book ‘Wailing Blues’ for the full story written by an independant journalist.

need funds ? Rita marley is a multimillionare.She became that by stopping all royalty money meant for the remaing members of the Wailers going against everything her husband preached about.her husband must be turning over in his grave cuz he would have never had approved that.ghana ? thats a nice safe part of Africa.If she wanted to make a REAL differance she would come to the aid of the people of Darfu,making people aware,organizing concerts,like Live Aid,bringing together world leaders like her husband did.this doesn’t impress me
