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.
