The Year Of Return Documentary is a story about how a music festival moved from Seattle, Washington where it was held at The Museum of Pop Culture since 2014 to Kisumu, Kenya where it will be held for the foreseeable future to create awareness on the degradation of Lake Victoria and reverse the impact of pollution using music, culture, and media as the tools for driving change.

The Year Of Return | One Vibe Films Documentary (Full Length)
The Year Of Return Documentary is a story about how a music festival moved from Seattle, Washington where it was held at The Museum of Pop Culture since 2014 to Kisumu, Kenya where it will be held for the foreseeable future to create awareness on the degradation of Lake Victoria and reverse the impact of pollution using music, culture, and media as the tools for driving change. With the current alarming rate of climate change it's only power built from the grassroots that can make lasting change. 2019 was a historic year in the calendar of black people globally since it marked 400 years since the first slaves were taken from Africa to North America. Moving Madaraka Festival from Seattle back to Kenya signified the importance of not only arranging for individuals to travel back to Africa as it was with the case of Ghana's year of return initiative, but getting significant events back to Africa and keeping them in Africa as a way to build a sustainable bridge allowing people of all backgrounds to travel to Africa to enjoy a festival of a lifetime, immerse themselves in the African culture, and inspire global change and collaboration towards mitigating climate change, which does not only threaten the climate but is an existential threat to our music, culture, and livelihood.
