Description:
“Through its inside, personal and genuine view on the movement the documentary aims to inspire people worldwide on a more sustainable lifestyle embedded in the context of Rastafari.”
The documentary film “Rastafari as a sustainable Lifestyle: Messages from Jamaica” aims to show an in-depth inside view on how the philosophy of Rastafari offers a sustainable lifestyle. The need for a sustainable lifestyle is as global as the movement’s principles of “equal rights and justice for all”. Due to the movement’s global spread (particularly through Reggae) and influence (particularly on Africa and marginalized people), there is a lot of potential in convincing more and more people to live more sustainable and to educate them about sustainability.
The film tries in every aspect to be of anthropological nature: At no time, ‘outside’ voices on Rastafari about Rastafari can be heard. Instead, only the inside perspectives from people of the movement are expressed. Also, the film is inspired by Rastafari, and therefore it is supposed to not only entertain, but educate! It therefore merges into a piece of ‘EDUtainment’. The educational part about the need for a sustainable lifestyle gets highlighted through the only non-Rastafari character in the film, Dr. Kevon Rhiney (Geography Department, UWI), who is educating the audience about climate change, it’s drivers, possible projections and behaviors of a more sustainable lifestyle. This lays the foundation for anyone not aware of the seriousness of climate change and the urgent need for people to live more sustainable.
The choice of the rest of the characters in the movie tries to reflect the diversity of the Rastafari movement regarding social background, age and occupation: Amongst others the Social Entrepreneur specialist Dr. Kadamawe Knife (39), Kemetic Yoga teacher Iyabinghi Ashanti Tafari (50), music producer Jamal Layne (23), and Singer Kiddus I (68) all have an urgent concern about mother earth and the future of humanity. Throughout the movie the Rastafari characters ‘reason’ on nature, community, ‘Livity’ - approach to work and life - and the current wrongs of Babylon. At the same time they stand as specific examples of people who live in harmony with nature and who develop sustainable businesses ideas and concepts. By teaching ‘peace, love, and unity’, Rastafari promotes the unification of all people to work together for a balanced world.
we don't agree with burning techniques to clear land or fertilize it for agricultural purpose. please stay away from burning your land as this causes far more damage then good. rather stick to e.g. composting and mulching to fertilize your land, and also check out PERMACULTURE for a holistic design system
I'm not a Rasta myself but they are people that I hold in high regard
Same. Their story is very dear to me 🙏
Dr knife is a man teacher I can listen to all day
Rastafari are the ones that give freedom to Be who you are say what you think and do what you feel.Rastafari are true Freedom of self.true teachers of Human Respect and Love,devine Love
I learned a lot from this documentary. The only reason why I searched "rastafari" on youtube is because of an encounter with my uber driver the other night. While in the car I noticed his long locks wrapped up, and the rastafari colors; green yellow and red along his rear mirror. After noticing his eccentric vibe I asked him his religion. My driver then responded in full detail about his lifestyle. To make a long story short, seek knowledge.
True children of the earth and the most high caring for the earth, future generations and living for righteousness. Love and peace family!
This great video is a reminder of the wisdom of Afrikan people. Peace Love Unity. Ase!

Blessed love to all. Watched this with InI youts. Very educational. It is good for I youts to see this great documentary on Rasta Livity, philosophies, ideologies, even though they live it everyday. This makes them see and understand how far reaching their Livity and people are.
RastafarI has come full circle; the world overstand the value and embraces the livity InI have taught and lived . 70 years later InI have grown from strength to strength. Rastafari is truly sustainable living. Seen.

Ronlad@until a cop stops you, time for a promotion or salary increase, gentification or there are lay-offs until then we are all brothers and sisters.
Seven Winters European peoples are dammed if we do dammed if we don't. We move in and it's gentrification, we move out and it's white flight.

I wish I could finish my degree at UWI Mona ... Dr Rhiney and Dr. Pollard seem awesome ... I have read Dr. Pollards book .... also does Dr. Barnett still teach at UWI ? The last reader he edited "Rastafari in the new Millennium" is one of my goto books. I shall share this on "RastafarI movement Michigan" on facebook. RastafarI tells I to live in a natural way. bless.
54:07 FORWARD! nice film
truest words ever spoken
let jah rise Babylon must fall let's face the. truth about Rastafari more fire 💥💥💥
Selassie ! JAH IS THE WAY.
I like the comment that one individual said...not just Rastafari...BUT CHILDREN OF THE EARTH. All human matters are collective ones!!! Headed by an understanding that THE EVER LOVING CREATOR must be apart of ALL our consciousness!! You cannot speak the language of peace to a man of war. Thus I am saying...Mother Earth is Father Creator's footstool. HIM is aware of all the descrepancies on the Planet...until man humble himself before the Creator and learn tolerance none of his techniques re global warming, farming, alternative energies,etc. shall be fruitful!!! HAILE SELASSIE THE FIRST!!!!
Listen ifyou is RASTAFARI then you should know that, RASTAFARI is for ALL MANKIND, male/female❤ so there was no need to say what you said!!! We as RASTA CHILDREN KNOWS THIS , But teach the children of SALON, the right way ❤ HOLY EMMANUEL I, KING SELASSIE I JAH RASTAFARI
I would love to come help you guys
I'm a trained Horticulturist trained at the national botanic gardens Dublin Ireland

Jah live!
Blessed is Our Eternal Creator!!!

Absolutely mint documentary - love the rastafari mentallity - I'm well getting onto sustainability anyway - love hearing different ways and views about things - awesome - can anyone name the tune at 23.55 mins? Thank you.
+mickie808state it says it right there in the movie. its rootz underground with "farming" :)
Cheers bud, didnt see it lol, have you filmed the vids yourself?
+mickie808state yes I have done all the interviews, filming & editing
how i wish i am a vegeterian
Wow... This man and Alborosie look alike alot. HahahaOntopic: Great words of wisdom.
Amazing documentary. Are you still here @Laura Maier
Can you tell me what is the same of the first song? I am starting to watch the video but i am alredy loving it, it seems a true representation of the rastafari values, that i wish to learn and worship. Peace and love is what is missing in nowadays society ( all of the society's)
+Rui Rebelo it says it there also - I Wayne with "Life Seeds"
Not only that GMO seeds don't regrow the fruit ain't good. Black people should avid them
Sadly you have those who are in control who only care about theirs and themselves. This causes them to live in the movement and not be concerned at all about future generations. As long as they have their fun now......This is horrible and we need intervention. We must somehow get back to the old way.
+D. Martin I think it's happening Sis - look for the right people, they are already there in manner corners and projects of the world, doing the right thing :) and you can join in!
How can I contact the Kemetic Yoga teacher?
+Chev S this is her sister: facebook.com/iyabinghi.tafari?fref=ts
Greetins. I'm seeing Ras K'nIfe on this video after very long time of not visitng him in JA Can't find him on FB and have sum ting for him. Its small miracle i see him here today as just last nite mi a talk of the UWI bredren and what they a do these days, then K'nife directly pop up for me here. Giving Thanks. Would anyone here notice this comment and get msg to him @ Eva Shirazi on FB or back at me here. Ankh Uah Saneb
You can contact Dr. K'nife through the University of the West Indies, he lectures there.
I pray HOPE YOU were able to get in contact with di' brethren!!!❤🎉❤
Anyone know what the tune is at the beginning of this video ?
Eu vejo bastante anarquismo no Movimento Rastafari, muito bom!
u know what hinduism contains many rasta way of life.
search aghori sadhus and naga sadhus.
Manish Rawat Indians taught Jamaicans a lot , not just how to cultivate crops but spirituality too
Sustainable. Yes. But be careful who's scenario the I go along with. "IPCC", "carbon footprint", "anthropomorphic", etc. Check what a really go on with the fukashima meltdowns and it's aftermath. "We must become a new race", full truth from H.I.M. Blessed truth. Guidance and protection.
Many people that mock my people do not even understand the educated language we use! Thinking very educated people that look a certain way are probably insane or not even aware of what they are communicating! Yet it is you who have the issue! Thinking white knows all things anyway! You can never be as educated as us! How does very inspired people communicating in a very highly way get so educated? LOL Jamaica does not have a school system? LOL What kind of schools could people on islands go to? People most likely have to go to the USA to get educated? To learn respect, decency and manners? LOL! You know who you are and what you are!
Wayne Blake are you supposed to be muslim ..back biting is not allowed
entrepreneurship NOT labour - bless up!
Kegan Michael Key in the thumbnail ?
Do Rasta have any book\s they follow?
yes there are many secular books Rasta read but is one i will recommend for all people and its called the universe which is also known as the book of life. once people read that book they will take better care of there environment and them selves.
No, not really. Rastafarians read the works of of Haile Selassie, Marcus Garvey, Walter Rodney and other literary books complementary to the livity. That said there is no set text for example like a Bible. But Haile Selassie 'teachings' are foremost. Hope this help a bit
Yonah El Bey gotta be specific on which bible. Depends on who wrote that bible.
Since when.....who long did you know
Very good
Do you all have the 'Holy Bible: Redemption Edition'? It is the only King James Version Bible that accurately describes the Lost Sheep of Israel as Black people in the west. I got it at Amazon.com. Its definitely worth the money. It even gives commentary on Black leaders' role in Bible prophecy.
so, my english is really really bad. I come from Bavaria that is located in germany. I think no matter whether RastaFari, Muslim, Christian, Hindu or take the best of all religions in the world. It is nevertheless the heart and the head and the dealings thus what we do with the animal, plants and human world and also what the eye can not see. For example the ancestors, the elves, fairies etc. What we feel is the wind, the fire, the water, the earth and the light the darkness. What do we pay attention to? There is good and sorry humble people around the world. What all need is love and love is a great word .... Love does not hurt, love does not destroy, love does not kill u.s.w. Love says thank God God father and Mother Earth. I thank you all ..... and thank God that there is light and dark. White skin and black skin also brown skin. I love Bob Marley music is my first love and reggae music is my life for my soul in this life blessing @all and thank for the help I get from your country and people. I hope I can return it

Dreadlock, may the community have thought patterns from Suburbia, make mixing of yin and yang be friendship, as it is in the elders, not harmful; this is the kosher way, no extreme. Small yin, small yang..
Rastot, rasai haqehila yesh li machshebut m tzuburbia, yetzir morisha shel yin u yang lihyot yedidut la naseq, k qosisim; zih hi kosher derakh, lo qitsuni. qatan yin, qatan yang
i cut my head bald could i be a rasta man
You lost me on the climate change stuff. We know the planet changes and man has some effect, but the discussion can turn into political dogma very quickly, so I tend to question the reasons behind mentioning it other than simply live naturally.
rasta pasta jamica druglord you should review your movmnet is wrong , ethiopia is a countrey islam and christian as many 80 ethnic ,the crminal ethiopia past king haileslsae did not say he can not say he was bad christian removed from power buried in his washroom in 1974 by ethiopian army , there is nothineg to win or to use ethiopia identtey ethiopia half or more population is muslem,,,
