You're quite right the film lacks a strong plot. As already said the music is v/good. A friend of mine watched it a while back and also like the reggae, but complained as he thought the acting was on the whole pretty poor.
For me the beauty of the film isn't about convincing portrayals but about the music and the reality of life within the communities depicted in the movie. It convinced me with it's rawness. The film was made I think late 70s. If that was made now I reckon it would have been described as a docufilm or fly on the wall.
