Here’s the official theatrical trailer for the upcoming new documentary on the life of Jamaican reggae pioneer and legend Lee “Scratch” Perry, narrated by a man who claims to be one of his biggest fans, Benicio Del Toro – a film Perry himself called his “my movie,” and “the truth.”

First featured on this site last month, The Upsetter, named after Perry’s 1969 album, and directed by indie filmmakers Adam Bhala Lough (The Carter, Bomb The System) andEthan Higbee (The Anti-Fascist), took 7+ years to produce. It made its debut last weekFriday, March 25th at Los Angeles’ Downtown Independent theater, where it’s play for a 1-week run, before traveling to Portland, Long Beach, New York, Boulder, Houston,Boston, Detroit, and a few other cities, in successive weeks, each also for 1-week runs.
