MOVIE: AFRICA UNITE - A CELEBRATION OF BOB MARLEY
Africa Unite is a singular and masterfully executed film by Stephanie Black that is at once concert tribute, Marley family travelogue, and humanitarian documentary, igniting the screen with the spirit of world-renowned reggae icon BOB MARLEY in its every frame. In commemoration of Bob's 60th birthday, Africa Unite is centered on the Marleys' first-time-ever family trip to Ethiopia in 2005. Includes rare footage of world-renowned reggae icon Bob Marley.
There in the capital city of Addis Ababa three generations of Marleys take part in a 12-hour concert attended by more than 300,000 people from around the world, with the ultimate purpose of inspiring the young generations of Africa to unite for the future of their continent.
Features exuberant on-stage spots as well as a soundtrack brimming with Bob Marley studio classics. Includes appearances by UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador / actor Danny Glover, world music sensation and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Angélique Kidjo, Bob Marley's mother Mrs. Booker, and Princess Mary, granddaughter of Emperor Haile Selassie along with Bob Marley's widow Rita Marley, and his eldest child Cedella Marley, his musical sons Ziggy, Damian, Julian and Ky-Mani, and many others.
