Rohan Marley: Bob’s rebel son

Available for over a year

Rohan Marley grew up in the shadow of a star: his father, reggae legend Bob Marley. When Bob died from cancer in 1981, Rohan went off the rails. He ended up skipping school and was eventually expelled. He got his life back on track and went on to become a star in American football. After embracing Rastafarianism, he left sport and ended up starting a coffee company in his native Jamaica. This interview was first broadcast 2017. London is a city rich in canals and waterways. If you take a walk down the Regent's Canal, just behind King's Cross train station, you might bump into a boat covered in ivy and books. It's the home of book enthusiast Jonathan Privett, who has been bringing literature to unexpected places for most of his life. In 2017, he shared his story with Emily Webb. When Dr Abbas Quamar was a child growing up in India he had one dream: to learn to fly. Despite financial challenges, he succeeded, graduating flying school at the top of his class. But on his first flight as a qualified pilot, Abbas – known to friends and family as Bobby – was involved in a freak mid-air accident that resulted in him losing his sight aged just 21. He tells Outlook how he rebuilt his life, and eventually managed to replace his dreams of flight with new ambitions and successes.
