AFRICA UNITE is a documentary made by accompanying the Marley family to Addis Ababa, 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 to work as one of the cinematographers and interviewers, and a truly special experience meeting the family and sharing rare moments with the elders in Shashemene.
The focus was to show how music can bring people together across generations and borders.
This project started as a road trip with musician 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.
Produced, filmed, and edited the documentary with the aim to capture what daily life actually looks like in conflict zones.
It is raw, personal, and driven by the idea that music and human connection can cut through politics and fear.
