Roots Time
Roots Time is the story of "Jah Bull" and "Baboo", two Rastafarians that sell LP records in an old colourful car field for the villages within Jamaica. By chance "Farmer Roots," his favourite radio host begs them a favour in an emergency by carrying his sick girlfriend to a hospital. "Jah Bull" and "Baboo" by their Rastafarian principles, do not believe in traditional medicine and convince "Farmer Roots" to take his sick girlfriend to a known herbal doctor called Bongo Hu. Getting to the herbal doctor is much more difficult than they expected and all kinds of adventures happen along the way.

2 May 2022 05:53It had some funny moments. The landscapes of Jamaica is enough of a reason to watch this film. Shows the love and kindness alongside the cantankerous and often chaotic nature of Jamaicans. Still the job gets done in the end. Some scenes could have been shorter but that's often the life, simple tasks can take long.... Love the car... One can only assume the sistren was healed by Bobo Dread.
