  The ultimate word on the history of reggae, this six part series, shot on film by an Oscar nominated cameraman, was produced in the early 1980s, just after the premature death of Bob Marley. It was a time to look back and to look forward. The films feature some amazing archive, much of it never seen before, of how Jamaican music developed before it became famous world-wide. Film-maker Howard Johnson interviewed the important figures who had influenced the course of the music. Along with musical performance there are interviews with cultural historians, folklorists and musicologists, along with those who created the music and those involved in the early days of Mento, Ska, Rock Steady and the sound systems. Also toasters, record producers and many great reggae artists of the day.Part 5 - Money In My Pocket.Part 6 - Ghetto Riddims.

The need for more Black Mental Health workers as support service providers and as Psychiatrists.Blood Count: The We know Best attitude of white medical practitioners that gives these powerful drugs without proper field studies, implies that there is a culture of insensitivity and ignorance amongst these practitioners; thus creating the environment that black people are being used as 'Guinea Pigs' by the big pharmaceutical drug companies.
