The Upsetter: The Life and Music of Lee Scratch Perry is a documentary film about the Grammy Award-winning Jamaican music icon Lee "Scratch" Perry.
The film is narrated by Academy Award winner Benicio Del Toro[1] and directed by American Filmmakers Ethan Higbee and Adam Bhala Lough.
We actually went and interviewed tons of these people — from Adrian Sherwood to Chris Blackwell — as research in a way.
So to have an opportunity to have a Jamaican man tell his story, the way that he lived it — whether it's correct or incorrect, or, you know, revisionist, or whatever — is, I think, a duty of a filmmaker.
