Review of Paul Simon: Under African Skies (2012) by Dan O — 05 Jan 2014

I have to admit. This album means a lot to me. It came out just before I went to live for 6 1/2 years in Lesotho, a country completely surrounded by South Africa. So I have a strong bias.

But I think it covered the history and controversy surrounding the album well. It was interesting seeing all of this with 25 years of hindsight.

I do wish, though, they had more of the live performances though. It seemed we mostly just got little bits and pieces.

But still definitely a movie worth seeing if you're interested in Paul Simon, apartheid South Africa, and/or African or world music!
