Director Perry Henzell’s cult classic The Harder They Come isn’t necessarily a tour de force of storytelling, but it will forever be an important film for what it did for Jamaica and the country’s greatest cultural export — reggae. The soundtrack helped define the music globally. Starring Jamaican music legend Jimmy Cliff, the film introduced international audiences to the lives and music of the people of the island nation.
