Rastafari & I

Questioning an inherited legacy of a Rastafarian faith in a family

Silas Gray grew up surrounded by the sounds, colours and iconography of his British Rastafarian father’s faith. As an adult, he began to question the beliefs he once accepted without doubt. Now he travels to Shashamane, Ethiopia - Rastafari’s promised land - to find a way to feel comfortable with the complex legacy he’s inherited from his Dad.
