Here is a super cool old school Way Back Play Back movie from the early 70's the Jamaican cult classic "The Harder They Come" starring Jimmy Cliff. Written by legendary screen writers Perry Henzell and Trevor D. Rhone, the movie is a story of a young man named" Ivanhoe Martin" down on his luck, and trying to make it in the hard streets of Kingston, Jamaica. He is trying to find a job and way to eat in the crazy concrete jungle, by any means necessary. He tries to get any job he can get and finally decides to try his hand at singing Reggae. Ivanhoe Martin cuts a record, but then sells the rights to his song for only $20. So now he is back where he started with little money and only a dream to become famous. With the thought of fame and money only in his head, he is succumbed by other means to achieve it, whether it be drug smuggling, or shooting and killing his way to the top! Its a potential good situation gone incredibly bad! Classic flick, peep it out and enjoy!

Way Back Play Back: Pirate Radio USA
This week's Way Back Play Movie is a film about radio, freedom of speech, and freedom of expression. In today's world we are bombarded with nonsense on our airwaves. If its not horrible music that is played over and over again nonstop by one company "Clear Channel", then its ridiculous commercials selling you shit that you don't need. This is a film about people all around the US trying to make a difference and give the listening public options on what they hear on the radio and their fight against the powers that be the FCC.
