ROOTS TIME

Roots Time is the story of 'Baboo' and 'Jah Bull', two Rastafarians that sell LP records in an old colorful car in the countryside of Jamaica. By chance they pick up their favorite and well known radio broadcaster 'Farmer Roots' hitch-hiking en route to the hospital with his sick girlfriend.

Jah Bull and Baboo do not believe in traditional medicine for their Rastafarian principles and convince Farmer Roots to take her to a well known herbal doctor 'Bongo-Hu'. Getting to the doctor turns out to be much more difficult than expected and all kinds of adventures happen before reaching their destination.
