What happens

Marley is a 2012 documentary-biographical film directed by Kevin Macdonald documenting the life of Bob Marley. The film initially began development in 2008, with a planned release date for Marley's 65th birthday on 6 February 2010. Martin Scorsese and Jonathan Demme were attached at different points but both would depart from the documentary, with Demme citing creative differences. The documentary was then put on hold until Macdonald signed on as director. It was released on 20 April 2012, and received critical acclaim. The film was also released on demand on the same day, a "day and date" release. The film features archival footage and interviews. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
