On his way, he chanced upon all the ideas that stirred
his time. From Bolshevism to New Thought, from
Gandhi to anarchism, from Garveyism to psychoanalysis,
he sought to find his promised land. With this
cocktail of ideas Leonard Gong Howell returned to
Jamaica and founded Pinnacle, the first Rasta
community in 1939. Documentary
