Description

Finding Fela is a 2014 documentary film directed by Alex Gibney, portraying and analysing the life of pioneering musician Fela Kuti.

Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney (TAXI TO THE DARKSIDE, THE ARMSTRONG LIE), FINDING FELA is a vibrant, politically-charged journey in to the life of the beloved, celebrated father of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti. Fela Anikulapo Kuti used the self-created musical movement of Afrobeat to express his revolutionary political opinions staging an ideological uprising against the dictatorial Nigerian government of the 1970s and 1980s. His influence helped bring a change towards democracy in Nigeria and promoted Pan Africanist politics to the world. The power and potency of Felas message remains to this day and is expressed in the political movements of oppressed people, embracing Felas music and message in their struggle for freedom.
