Rasta's Paradise is a 50 min documentary about Rastafarians in Ethiopia. It attempts to shed light on their movement, way of life, music, and the reasons for repatriating to Ethiopia. It travels from Addis Ababa to Shashemene, visiting Rastas, in their tabernacle, school, and homes as they explain the geopolitical connections between their message, identity and ‘take' on current world events.
