Excellent!Mar 24, 2008
By Danielita
"music lover"
The DVD is part documentary, part concert. Watching it makes me think how sorely mankind needs divine intervention, bc our problems run so deep, and try as we might we seem to use our differences to our detriment, instead of to our betterment.

Best Rasta profileJul 17, 2008
By MH A clear and very well organized DVD. I love the historical clips added to show the story of Rasta and Bob. It is a very nice DVD to have as a collection. I did hear the DVD can be found at other retail stores like Fry's at a lower price.

Africa Unite is FireMar 10, 2008
By Writergirl
"One Love"
This documentary/cinematic concert is wonderful. I learned so much about Ethiopia and Africa as a whole, the music was great, and the old footage of Haile Selassie, Bob Marley, and others was also a treat. Something you can watch over and over.

Jah BlessOct 16, 2009
By J. Tinsey In celebration of Bob's would-be 60th birthday, this documentary/concert provides insight to the Rasta movement and its message. There is rare footage of the messiah himself, Haile Selassie, and of the Marley family in their journey to Zion.
This film shows the power, influence, and meaning behind the music Bob introduced to the world. The music and the message live. Rasta or not watch this film.
"Rastafari not a culture- it's a reality." -Bob Marley
