The Harder They Come

Come early for live music at Eden Bar from 6:30–9:30pm!

Jimmy Cliff Tribute Film!

With a piece in his hand, he takes on the man! This epochal cultural moment brought reggae to the international stage, made Jimmy Cliff a star, and demonstrated how music can change the world.

Fifty years on, The Harder They Come is still electric with the feeling of discovery. This Scarface-esque blend of crime drama and musical follows Cliff’s country-boy-in-search-of-fame as he moves through Jamaica under the guises of laborer, recording artist, convict, ganja dealer, and outlaw folk hero.

Before The Harder They Come, the collective perception of a “foreign film” was largely limited to the Bergmans and the Kurosawas of the world. This game-changer blew those doors off forever—and it still hasn’t lost a drop of its cool, its edge, or its power to make you dance.
