This review is from: Africa Unite (DVD)

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.

This review is from: Africa Unite (DVD)

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.

This review is from: Africa Unite (DVD)

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.
