Palm buys Marley documentary "Africa Unite"
NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Palm Pictures has acquired all North American and U.K. rights to Stephanie Black's Bob Marley family documentary "Africa Unite."
The feature follows three generations of the Marley clan as they take their first trip to Ethiopia for a landmark concert commemorating the late reggae icon's 60th birthday. The film features rare footage of Marley and many of his original recordings on the soundtrack.
Palm plans a theatrical release this winter, followed by an early 2008 DVD release in time for February's Black History Month.
