Photos: Screening Of Finding Fela, A Documentary On Fela Anikulapo Kuti

Finding Fela, a documentary by Alex Gibney on the life and musical evolution of iconic Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.  

Finding Fela explores the essence of the Afrobeat founder - his brazen activism, his relationships, his eccentricities and his vulnerabilities. Featuring interviews from family, friends and band members, the scenes are alternately hilarious and poignant, painting a picture of the forces that influenced the musician, and his influence on the Nigerian public of the 70s until his death and even afterwards.
The documentary also features cuts from the broadway play and explores the difficulties in portraying the complex figure that was Fela.
Finding Fela will be in theaters in the US August 1, 2014
