Finding Fela. Alex Gibney. 2014.
The Broadway show nor this documentary film know what to do when it comes to presenting this complicated man as a hero. It tries to come to terms with his sexism, his misogyny, his narcissism and his death by AIDS. The rhythms are divine, the fury palpable, the politics naive- in the best and worst possible ways. The eventual collapse into spiritual mumbo jumbo seems inevitable.
