Lee Scratch Perry’s Vision Of Paradise is the ultimate portrait of a true musical icon. For the past 15 years Volker Schaner has followed Perry on a spiritual and geographical journey taking in Jamacia, Ethopia, Germany, Switzerland and London.

Over this period Volker has earned Perry’s trust, resulting in a never-before-granted level of access and insight into Perrys’ fantastical, spiritual world. This classic-in-the-making tells a story of epic, magical propotions that’s not a biography, more fairytale documentary, which is in turns funny, poetic and frequently mind blowing.  In additon to filmed footage of the man himself, plus an all-star cast of dub and reggae-related musicians, Lee Scratch Perry’s Vision Of Paradise is illustrated using unique  animated scenes, that are influenced by both Ethiopian Christian Orthodox Church Art and the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine.
