Review: A Brief History Of Seven Killings

Listen. Dead people never stop talking.
Jamaica, 1976, and the country is at a tipping point. With just weeks until a general election, Bob Marley is planning a concert for peace, to unite the warring gangs and political parties.

Spanning years and continents, this is their story.

And all four are heading towards the Wilhelm Gustloff, and the greatest disaster in maritime history.
