"Ivan was here, but he disappear."
Ivanhoe Martin (Jimmy Cliff) is a countryman, who moves to Kingston to make his fortune as a singer. Unfortunately he soon learns it's harder than he thinks, when ripped off by a producer. He resorts to drug dealing to make ends meet, becoming an unwitting hero in the shanty town when he ends up on the run.
A wonderfully realised and gritty look at the realities of life in Jamaica at the time, with the added bonus of a great reggae soundtrack.
