AFRICA UNITE

Director: STEPHANIE BLACK

U.S.A • 2008 • COLOUR • DIGITAL VIDEO • 92 MIN


A film that is at once a concert movie, a Marley family travelogue and a humanitarian documentary, Africa Unite ignites the screen with the spirit of world-renowned reggae icon Bob Marley. In commemoration of Bob’s 60th birthday, three generations of Marleys take part in a landmark one-week event that includes a 12-hour concert attended by more than 350,000 people from around the world. As Stephanie Black’s admirable film makes clear, the ultimate purpose of the event is to inspire the young generations of Africa to unite for the future of their continent.These screenings are made possible by the generous sponsorship of Irish Aid. Admission is free, but tickets must be obtained from the box office.
