Spotlight+
Feature | United States, UK, Nigeria | 83 MINUTES | English, Yoruba | English subtitlesDocumentary, Music, Politics, Biography
Following the Grammy-award winning Nigerian musician Wizkid from Lagos to the biggest stage in the world at Tottenham Stadium in London, Wizkid: Long Live Lagos is a raw look at the life of a boundary-pushing musician and an exploration of the modern history of Nigerian music. Motivated and inspired by his family and his home, Wizkid's sound has a modern flair but draws from deep roots. While his journey to the stage has its challenges, his determination and artistry ensure a mindblowing show for all to see.
A deeply personal look at a singular musician, this film also outlines the expansion of Nigerian music to a global, mainstream stage where it's recognized as the many disparate genres and sounds it is. Tight editing, exclusive behind the scenes footage and a solid soundtrack round out this deeply engaging documentary.—Hope Wager
