Take time to tell my bredrens. Bless.‖ ~ PaPa U-Gee (JAPAN) ―When people ask me that question...‘What is Rasta?‖ I think that‘s the perfect answer. It‘s a soul‘s journey – to find self and to understand self. It‘s a peace, in this crazy world. More than a religion...that many people think it is...it‘s a way of life. It‘s a culture. You have to live it every day, to really connect and understand.‖ ~ John Aaron Dalagdog (PHILIPPINES) Europe ―...Very beautiful project!

RasTa: A Soul’s Journey | A Feature-Length Documentary in HI-Def ―The vision for the film is to look at Rastafari from a global perspective, moving out from the more familiar images of Jamaica to the scope in which this culture (as opposed to religion) has expanded out beyond the tiny Caribbean Island...Through Donisha we learn the history, the core values, the cultural impact of a movement that was inspired by history and propagated through the music of her grandfather, helping us find new spiritual meaning in a fast changing chaotic world.‖ ~ Stuart Samuels, Director/Producer Film Overview RasTa is the story of the personal journey of Rita and Bob Marley’s granddaughter, Donisha Prendergast, into the world of Rastafari. Her exploration takes us to countries where her grandfather‟s captivating performances delivered the Rastafarian message. Her travels not only unveil the reach and inspiration of his music and message, but also the history and evolution of the Rastafarian movement. ―Rasta is a journey,‖ says Prendergast. ―It‘s a geographical, spiritual and emotional trod.‖ The documentary boasts an exciting reggae soundtrack, featuring established, as well as emerging contemporary, reggae stars – they include: Alborosie, Burning Spear, Damian Marley, Jacob Miller, Jah Cure, King Jassim, Matisyahu, Morgan Heritage, Nomadz, Ras Levi Roots, Tarrus Riley, Turbulence and Donisha Prendergast herself. This thrilling mix of travel, music and culture packs a powerful punch that will appeal to massive audiences, nationalities and tastes, both the young and young at heart from around the globe. RasTa will have its World Premiere at TIFF (Toronto Int‟l Film Festival), September, 2011 -- and will be presented at other major festivals: Berlin, Sundance, Tribecca, Pan African, and MIPDOC (Cannes). It will be released theatrically in the eight ...6 countries it was filmed: Canada, Ethiopia, Israel, India, Jamaica, South Africa, UK and USA, November 2011, with a 2nd tier rollout in Europe, Asia and The Caribbean, February 2012 – Black History Month for many and the year of Jamaica‟s 50 th Anniversary. RasTa will premiere on Television in Canada‟s on CityTV, April 2012. RasTa will be a great document of history, not only for Rastafarians, but also for people in general. It will be the catalyst to get more people thinking and talking about the Rastafarian message of love and unity. This journey has taken me to a place where, I no longer just think that Rastafari is real. I know he‘s real. Moreover, women in Rasta are now standing where the men are falling short and for the first time they are being recognized for it. Through the process of making the film, I have come to begin to own my place‖ ~ Donisha Prendergast, Actor, Singer, Writer, Activist. The Lead Granddaughter of Rita and Bob Marley, turned Rastafarian explorer, Donisha Prendergast is a nu-school Rasta. Like her grandfather, she is, at heart, a true artist with impressive skills in a wide variety of disciplines. She is an accomplished actor having starred in several major Jamaican television productions. She‟s also successfully toured the Eastern Caribbean, the US and UK in notable leading roles on the live stage. Donisha‟s fiery passion has been contagious in the filming of the RasTa – not only amongst the crew but also with everyone she meets. And she fuels other initiatives too, including Sumthing F.E.R.T.I.L.E (For Every Revolutionary Truth that Inspired Leaders to Educate) Productions, founded with partners Falani Spivey and Serita Stewart -- currently producing a doc that investigates links between diasporic Blacks and Africa. Donisha is the Youth Ambassador for Africa Unite – annual celebrations held in honor of her grandfather‟s “Earthstrong” (birthday). ...7 ―In recent years there has been a proliferation of film and video projects on Rastafari. Rasta: A Soul‘s Journey, however, is the first to seriously address the movement as a global philosophy for the 21st century that unifies peoples of diverse backgrounds. Working with artists who have popularized the Rasta message via reggae music as well as Elders who have traditionally taken a guarded approach to researchers and filmmakers, this project makes an unprecedented commitment to represent the diverse voices and dynamic realities of Rastafari. Telling this story through the eyes of a young adherent linked to Bob Marley—the movement‘s global icon—promises to give audiences unique insights into both the popular culture and spiritual levity that binds communicants from Kingston to Cape Town.‖ ~ Jake Homiak, Ph.D., Curator, Discovering Rastafari National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institute The Countries, The People Ethiopia, Canada, India, Israel, Jamaica, South Africa, UK, USA -- Donisha trods through, towns, homes and private spaces to share personal recollections of her Grandfather, “Bob.” ―They all call him Bob,‖ she marvels with a smile. ―I guess this is because they feel a familiarity with him. This is beautiful!‖ She reasons with elders, Marley contemporaries, musicians, poets, artists to academics and entrepreneurs -- women, men and youth – renowned celebrities to peace-loving regular folk -- She navigates her way, stealth-like, demanding only the truth. Through passionate tears and laughter, Donisha soon begins to identify and carve out her place as an empowered young woman -- one living her life fully in Rasta. And like her we, the audience, come to understand the history, philosophies, the surprising influences and twists, of what Rasta is. ...8 "Reggae propelled the Rasta cosmology into the middle of the planet‘s cultural arenas and suddenly people wanted to know what all the chanting and praying and obsessive smoking of herb was all about." ~ Stephen Davis and Peter Simon, Rock Critics The Music Reggae music is the roots of Rastafarian “livity.” Reggae, similarly, is the heartbeat of the film – both in lyrics and rhythm. A pulsating reggae score drives the film -- classic recognizable tracks as well as the innovative, experimental works of contemporary international stars. ...9 Musical Artists include: Alborosie Ras Levi Roots Burning Spear Tarrus Riley Damian Marley Turbulence Jacob Miller and Donisha Prendergast. Jah Cure King Jassim Matisyahu Morgan Heritage Nomadz Protoje ...10 When? Screenings | Live Events ―RasTa is a labor of love that has been seven years in the making. It's born out of the experience of having met Bob Marley in Montréal during my early teens and chance encounters with Rastafarians all around the world. Our story is truly about ‗the movement of Jah people and their historical and cultural links to other peoples.‖ ~ Patricia Marie Scarlett, Executive Producer/Producer Media Launch / RasTa is...

Worldwide Presence | Online & Offline "It is rare that a cultural phenomenon melds music, culture, philosophy and social change and also spreads around the far reaches of the globe. The Rastafarian Movement has accomplished this. It is one of the most vibrant and culturally significant Black movements to have emerged in recent times. Rastafarians introduced a new language, fashion and lifestyle into mainstream cultures and promoted passionate, often fiery, perspectives on identity and race." ~ Roger McTair, Writer.

Exposure | Benefits ―Me only have one ambition, y'know. I only have one thing I really like to see happen. I like to see mankind live together - black, white, Chinese, everyone - that's all.‖ ~ Bob Marley, Artist Invitation There is instant brand recognition for Bob Marley and reggae music – amongst both Rastafarian and global crossover audiences. Marley has consistently remained in the top ten of best selling musical artists among those who died, according to Forbes Magazine. RasTa piggybacks on Marley’s popularity by encouraging Fans from around the world, to help spread the word – to help grow an organic online global community that supports and promotes the film – share info and content - music, posts, blogs, tweets, attend screenings and live events. RasTa’s rapidly growing popularity and Fan base – this far in advance of the film‟s release – clearly demonstrates that our strategy is working. RasTa’s community presence will be gradually built out to incorporate a fully interactive prime website as well as an expanded social network presence by the film‟s TIFF World Premiere, September 2011. RasTa invites strategic partnerships with corporations to help expand on this approach, to find creative ways of maximizing the awareness of partnering brands -- in step with the film‟s release schedule and worldwide audience outreach. ...19 Worldwide Audience Who would be interested in RasTa?
