No, Bob Marley Didn’t Really Meet and Forgive One of His Would-Be Assassins

The movie “Bob Marley: One Love” includes the true incident where seven armed men attacked Bob, his wife Rita, and members of his band in 1976.  Several of them were injured, including Bob and Rita.

Now, in the movie, one of those gunmen goes to Bob’s house a few days later and apologizes, and Bob forgives him.

Well, this meeting never happened.  A Berklee professor named Matt Jenson says the movie takes “artistic liberties” when it comes to that scene.  Or, to reiterate:  THEY MADE IT UP.
