Finding Fela! tells the story of the infamous Fela Kuti, his life, his music, and his political vitality to the Nigerian people. 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 usher in democratic ideals to Nigeria and promoted Pan Africanist politics to the world. The power and potency of Fela’s music still resonates today, his spirit is expressed in the political movements of oppressed people globally in their struggle for freedom.
