Suffering and Smiling (2006)

Directed by Dan Ollman

Documentary · 1h 00m

Suffering and Smiling is a compelling documentary that portrays Fela Anikulapo Kuti as a champion of the rights of the common people and depicts Femi, his son and successor, as an equally militant political activist. Accounts by relatives characterise the men and their music. Occasional archive footage illustrates Nigeria's history and the music mercilessly spells out the irreversible situation.
