‘Revival’ is the first episode of the six part series ‘Deep Roots Music’ - 1982. All of the episodes are narrated by Mikey Dread and are focused on the history and culture of reggae music. ‘Revival’ contains extremely rare footage of Toots and The Maytals, Count Ossie and The Skatalites. There also are some interviews with cultural historians which make it more interesting.
