Its 1978, and we meet musician, activist, and global superstar Fela Anikulapo Kuti at his farewell show at the Afrika Shrine nightclub in Lagos, Nigeria. After losing his own mother in a dictators violent attack, Felas final act in Nigeria is to use his iconic musica spirited blend of traditional African drumming, jazz, and funkto tell his story of survival and global revolution through Afrobeat and floor-shaking dance.
