This documentary highlights the vision for African unity that Bob Marley was devoted to throughout his music career and presents an inspiring tribute to a man who defined his own aim as "spreading the message of unity and equality, to end the needless suffering of mankind." The twelve-hour concert, featuring a host of internationally acclaimed artists, is interwoven throughout the film, highlighting the singer's global influence. The film features the "Africa Unite" concert performed for over 350,000 people gathered in the historic Meskel Square of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to celebrate what would have been Bob Marley's 60th birthday. The film also features highlights from the United Nations symposium of scholars and Pan African students. Starring Rita Marley, Danny Glover, Angélique Kidjo, Lauryn Hill and Marley's children Ziggy, Cedella, Sharon, Stephen, Kymani, Julian and Damian.
