MISS JOBSON
In the 1970s, Diane Jobson made a name for herself as Bob Marley’s close friend and lawyer, converting to Rastafarianism under his influence. After his death, she dedicated her career to defending Jamaica’s poorest communities, becoming the island’s beloved “Rasta lawyer.” Now 80, the fiercely stubborn attorney with 12-foot-long locks still works without a computer, taking handwritten notes and helping clients facing police violence and murder charges. MISS JOBSON captures the rhythms of Diane’s life as she fields calls from clients, swims with her dog and smokes ganja with her best friend, Sally. Blending humor and profundity, the film ultimately celebrates a woman who has lived entirely on her own terms. (Note adapted from In Perspective.) DIR/SCR Amanda Sans Pantling.
