Palm ‘Unite’s with Bob Marley doc

Date:

Palm Pictures is kicking it old school once again merging music and docu form by picking up Africa Unite – a documentary about the family of the late Bob Marley and their first trip to Ethiopia. Warm sounds from down under will be theatrically released this winter.

This is about the family of the late Bob Marley and their first trip to Ethiopia. The 2005 Africa Unite event, led by the singer's widow, Rita Marley, included a 12-hour concert attended by 300,000 people. The film will contain rare footage of Marley in performance, as well as corresponding footage of his family performing his songs at the Africa Unite concert.
