Perry Henzell

Writer/Director
7 March 1936 to 30 November 2006

As the writer-director of Jamaica's first feature The Harder They Come (1972), Henzell was unable to recapture that popular success. Shot part-time over the course of three years it remains a cult favourite, though his follow up, No Place Like Home (2006), was only completed shortly before his death.
