In the organizer's words:

Harder Than The Rock
Mark Warmington / Great Britain / 2024 / 100 min. / German premiere

In 1967, Jamaican teenagers sat at a bus stop in London and decided to form a band. This is how The Cimarons, Britain's first reggae band,came into being . A few years later, they were at the center of the great boom in the music genre from Jamaica. The band worked with greats such as Bob Marley and Paul McCartney, but their own music often did not receive the recognition it deserved. The documentary tells the story of the band and follows them on their journey to realize a dream: to perform live one last time.
