Harder Than The Rock chronicles the incredible journey of Britain's first reggae band, Cimarons. Formed by teenage Jamaican immigrants in a London bus shelter in 1967, the band were at the forefront of the reggae explosion in the 1970's. Thousands of miles from Jamaica, they brought excitement, experimentation and sheer anticipation to Black British youth, connecting them to their roots and identity through their powerful music.
