This is a new way for audiences to watch new releases from the safety of their homes during this unprecedented time while also supporting the Tivoli Theatre Foundation.
This week, three intriguing new films have been added to current lineup,
Marley
Born into poverty in rural Jamaica, Bob Marley became a prophet for the world’s oppressed, preaching peace, love, and understanding with a universal language - song. On what would have been Marley’s seventy-fifth birthday, Oscar-winning filmmaker Kevin MacDonald combines unheard tracks, unseen footage, and intimate interviews to paint a definitive portrait of the legendary artist.
