In one of the interview segments within this generously packed program (more than two hours of videos, live music and extras), Lucky Dube relates a tale from his childhood in South Africa: He would assemble his relations and charge them a few pennies to listen to him sing, all the while dreaming of becoming a success. That he did, fighting the odds to become one of the most popular, and outspoken, roots reggae artists outside of Jamaica. The earlier videos show a tentative artist still finding his way but by the mid-’90s Dube had become a commanding presence, albeit not entirely original (his allegiance to Marley and Tosh is always obvious).
