Reggae Music Documentary 1979

REGGAE-MUSIC (1979-1981) is a documentary about the development and identity-creating importance of reggae for the Jamaicans. Jamaica, which is considered the birthplace of reggae, was a British colony for centuries to which countless African slaves were deported.

The film was made in Coulanges' first year of study at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (dffb) and was almost not produced because Heinz Rathsack, the director of the Academy, classified the project as too ambitious for a first work.
