True Born African: The Story of Winston 'Flames' Jarrett is a feature-length documentary film about Jamaican ska pioneer, rocksteady hit-maker, and reggae legend Winston 'Flames' Jarrett. As a backing vocalist for Alton Ellis & The Flames in the 1960s, and the front man of Winston Jarrett & the Righteous Flames, he was a mentor to the generation of reggae musicians who took Jamaican music to worldwide popularity in the 1970s. Flames has recorded more than 20 albums in a music career spanning 6 decades. In this film, Flames tells his own story, taking us on a journey from his current home in Seattle, Washington, to his old neighborhoods in Jamaica, with a stop at the Reggae On The River festival in Humboldt County, California.
