Review of Finding Fela (2014) by Amy S — 17 Aug 2014

What a powerful and compelling documentary. I liked how the story was told, how the interviews, musicals, and the original footage were weaved together to take on a chronological journey of his music, personal life, and impact on the world.

It was so intense towards the latter stage of his life! Fela worn so many hats and I thought the movie did a great job presenting all of them, including the controversial ones. I would recommend this movie without a doubt to anyone who loves a strong character and well-produced documentary.
