Finding Fela tells the story of Fela Anikulapo Kuti's life, his music, his social and political importance. He created a new musical movement, Afrobeat, using that forum to
express his revolutionary political opinions 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 Fela's message is completely
current today and is expressed in the political movements of oppressed people, embracing Fela's music and message in their struggle for freedom. Finding Fela was
directed by the Academy Award winning director, Alex Gibney.
The movie, which is billed for cinema
release across Nigeria on Friday, October 17, 2014, will
make its debut premiere at the New Afrika Shrine on
Sunday, October 12, 2014.
Shot in black and white and color formats, Finding Fela
showcases actual footages from Fela's life and times as well
as revealing interviews from family members and cronies
that include Femi Kuti, Yeni Kuti, Seun Kuti, Bill T. Jones, Jim
Lewis Rikki Stein, Lemi Ghariokwu and Queen Kewe
Anikulapo Kuti.
