Filmed in Lagos, Nigeria, in 1982 (and issued on DVD two decades later), this 53-minute documentary mixes footage of Fela Anikulapo Kuti performing at his Shrine nightclub, interviews with the controversial musician, glimpses of life at his not-so-palatial Kalakuta Republic compound, and scenes of Lagos street life. Some voice-over narration gives viewers basic information on Fela's musical career and Nigerian politics, but for the most part the images are left to speak for themselves.
