Has anyone seen "Rockers" the movie?

I just hard about it via the local radio station's promo for it. (It's playing next Monday at the Ritz in Austin, TX in case anyone is in the area: http://www.originalalamo.com/Show.aspx?id=5675)

It sounds like an awesome display of Jamiaca's reggae powerhouses. Does anyone have any comments on the movie?

Here's a Youtube clip...

It is a must see- I really liked it. Like Harder They Come, it is for sure a 70's flick. We have the video, though surely it is on DVD too.

How about starting a thread of all JA movies/docs so that we can all make sure we have't missed anything?
One of our favorites (also a 70's flick) COUNTRY MAN
Then there are the more modern ones like
Third World Cop
Life and Debt (doc.)
H2 Worker doc.(directed by Stephanie Black who did Life and Debt)
Land of Look Behind (doc- older one)
The Christain/Rasta love story starring one of the Marley's (forget the name)...
All I can think of off the top of my head anyone can add to the list please?

Wow can't believe I haven't heard of the Rockers film!?
Ky Mani Marley played John the Baptist in film called Haven in 2004.
He is also in the Jamaican based film called Shottas in 2002,

What would topics would people like to see Jamaican films being made about? The industry is so small but has so much potential!
