This music-infused cinematic journey is about the power of one man’s voice to inspire change. One of Time magazine’s "100 Most Influential" people in the world and called “the rare rock star whose music matters”, Senegalese singer Youssou N’dour is beloved both internationally and at home.
In 2005, the Grammy winning artist defied expectations and produced his most personal album, <em>Egypt</em>, presenting his Islamic faith as a peaceable and tolerant religion. While the record received international acclaim, it was denounced as blasphemy in his native Senegal.
Director Vasarhelyi followed N’dour for more than two years, filming in Africa, Europe and the United States, to tell the story of N'Dour faces these challenges and eventually wins over audiences.
