Africa Atlanta
The new feature documentary by Academy Award Winner, Alex Gibney titled Finding Fela is coming to Atlanta!
"Finding Fela tells the story of Fela Kuti’s life (1938 – 1997), his music, and his social and political importance. This in-depth look at the man who created Afrobeat (a fusion of Jazz, traditional West African rhythms, Funk, Highlife, and psychedelic rock) brings audiences close to Fela’s fight against the dictatorial Nigerian government of the 1970s and 80s."
This weekend, the city of Atlanta will be celebrating the new film with a series of events. Come join us as we celebrate the life and legacy of one of the most prolific revolutionaries of our time!
Playing at Landmark Theatres Midtown Art Cinema August 15th – 21st.
