Under African Skies

Joe Berlinger tries to show both sides of a complex issue, when the music of Paul Simon shook the political environment under African skies. His historical album Graceland sold millions of copies and still gave way to divergent views on the limits of art, market and politics. On the 25th anniversary of its release, the artist returns to South Africa for a reunion concert that brings ghosts of the past and recalls the controversial context of the time, reflecting on the artist’s role in society.
