Africa Unite was made by accompanying the Marley family to Ethiopia for Bob Marley’s 60th birthday celebration. The film blends concert footage with real conversations about unity, post-apartheid healing, and youth leadership across Africa. It was a joy directing, producing, shoting, and editing the film — it was a full-on, hands-on experience. The focus was to show how music can bring people together across generations and borders.

This project started as a trip with Michael Franti through Iraq, Israel, and Palestine — just a small crew, a few cameras, and a mission to meet people living in the middle of war. Directed, produced, filmed, and edited the documentary, aiming to capture what daily life actually looks like in conflict zones. It’s raw, personal, and driven by the idea that music and human connection can cut through politics and fear.
