About the Film

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  

Marley’s 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 Marley’s  

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.  

Producer and directed by Stephanie Black (Life & Debt, H-2 Worker),  

Associate Produced by Ras Bobby Morgan, and Executive Produced by Rita

Marley, Cedella Marley, Danny Glover and Joslyn Barnes.
