Miss Jobson

Amanda Sans Pantling / Jamaica, Spain / 2025 / 80 min

A striking portrait of an extraordinary woman: Diane Jobson, Rastafari icon, former lawyer to Bob Marley, and Jamaica’s enduring lawyer of the poor. In her 80s, she fearlessly fights for justice, challenges a corrupt system, smokes ganja, and wittily reflects on life, love, and mortality. Traversing courtrooms, nature, and deep bonds of friendship, the film offers a vibrant, moving celebration of resistance, spirituality, and a life lived unapologetically.
