You could be in the middle of it, if it ain\u2019t right, we can\u2019t mess with it, we can\u2019t mess with it. We can\u2019t mess with Bob, and we can\u2019t mess with Jamaica. I\u2019m Ziggy Marley, and this is Billboard News.<\/p>\n

Hey it\u2019s Tetris with Billboard News and today I have the honor of hanging with Ziggy Marley talking about \u2018One Love.\u2019 How are you?<\/p>\n
\n\tZiggy Marley
Good man.<\/p>\n
\n\tTetris Kelly
Why was now the time to tell your father\u2019s story?<\/p>\n
\n\tZiggy Marley
Yeah, it\u2019s more than my father\u2019s story really, like, carry a message with it. So is it, it talks about his life. But I think now is the time for this message of one love to be put into the global view for them, see them in billboards and watch it in a movie, this idea of one love, I think it\u2019s a very important time and we\u2019re in a very significant time in the world, we\u2019re on the edge of something. So you know, the idea of one love is it\u2019s pretty cool to have that out there. Right.<\/p>\n
\n\tTetris Kelly
And that is the overarching view of the film, obviously, it\u2019s this one love and your dad\u2019s story. How close were you to that story in the storytelling process?<\/p>\n
\n\tZiggy Marley
You know, we were there from the beginning, we were the one who initiated the idea to do the film on behalf of my family. And so it was the first time that we actually took the prerogative to go out and seek partners to do the film with telling the story how, we wanted to tell it, making sure it\u2019s authentic. So we were very, very involved in it from the get go to the end. And the mean, even I mean, things were being changed in the last second scripts, like it was a, it was a community project. And it was just from the first time I\u2019m doing a film project. But from the what we talked about with the guys who have the experience, they were like, this is like we\u2019ve never done this in film before, like up to the last second we changing lines. And it was good. It was a good adventure.<\/p>\n
