Harder than the Rock
“An infectiously engaging and very moving rhapsody for the groundbreaking rebels dubbed ‘the backbone of British reggae” – Mark Kermode, Kermode & Mayo’s Take
Reggae exploded in the 1970s and Cimarons, the UK’s first reggae band, formed in 1967, were at its heart. Thousands of miles from Jamaica, they brought excitement, experimentation and sheer anticipation to a new generation of Black British youth, putting them in touch with their roots. Harder Than The Rock celebrates Cimaron’s storied history and explores the band’s overlooked impact and influence as they persevere against all odds and dream of playing to live audiences again, one last time…
“As the documentary captures with real warmth, tenderness and humour, the band are lovingly back together.” – Daniel Dylan Wray, The Guardian
