AFRICA UNITE

By director Stephanie Black (89 minutes)

A feature length documentary and concert tribute to reggae icon Bob Marley

On the occasion of Africa Unite in 2005, three generations of Marleys travel to Ethiopia to present a live musical tribute to reggae legend Bob Marley on what would have been his 60th birthday. Along with clips of the Africa Unite youth symposium, the film focuses on the roots of Rastafarianism and the significance of Marley’s life to its movement. Includes performances by Widow Rita and sons Ziggy, Stephen, Julian, Damian, and Ky-Mani, along with vintage clips of Marley himself in action.
