- Synopsis
- Fela Kuti, the late Nigerian musician who spawned Afrobeat and the political movement that accompanied it, has already inspired a successful musical and there's also a Hollywood biopic in the works. But his Kuti's story warrants the documentary treatment and Academy Award winning documentarian Alex Gibney ("The Armstrong Lie") is just the director to bring it to life. From his musical legacy to his political activism (Kuti was jailed on political grounds in Nigeria) to his love life (he had many wives), Fela Kuti's life should make a gripping documentary – and the music is guaranteed to satisfy.
