During his life, nobody seemed to know about
his secret tapes. He marked them "Red X",
because, as he explains, he always saw his
name on official documents marked with a red
X. He knew he was going to die one time for
the things that he said... It looks like
the plot of a conspiracy movie, but in
realty they formed the blueprint for this
impressive documentary, that should be seen
by everyone even remotely interested in the
Conscious side of Reggae Music.
In the movie, we are confronted with a
number of witnesses and facts that throw
enormous amounts of doubt to the official
story around the killing of Peter Tosh, that
says he was killed at a "robbery". Original
(bloody) photo's and reconstructions add to
what is yet another clear case of a
Babylonian Assassination of yet another
Freedom Fighter and Truth Teller.
We can hear how Peter Tosh speaks about
his childhood, too, when he was terrorized
by the Babylonian doctrines of
"Christianity". A "Christianity" that told
black people, they were born black because
of their iniquity and how "Jesus" would wash
them "Whiter as Snow".
Obviously, being by far the most militant
of the Wailers, we are also introduced to
the (spiritual) warrior that he was. Peter
Tosh was very much aware of the existence of
evil and how only the Creator Himself could
protect him from it by giving him the power
to fight against evil.
This war of the devil against JAH was the
predominant theme in the life and works of
Peter Tosh, who is quoted in the movie as
saying: "Knowing the Truth is dangerous. You
can get killed over it".
No, this is not your average biographical
documentary about your average super star.
Even though the video also shows his carrier
as a musician, STEPPING RAZOR actually goes
much deeper than that and the result is one
of the better documentaries made about
Reggae and Rasta. |
