A pure-bliss celebration.”

John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter

For the 25th anniversary of his landmark album Graceland, Paul Simon returns to South Africa for a historic reunion concert. Featuring anti-apartheid activists, musical legends, and leading cultural figures—including Maya Angelou, Harry Belafonte, Paul McCartney, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo—Under African Skies recounts the record’s turbulent birth and controversial reception. Award-winning documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger also directed Brother’s Keeper and the Paradise Lost trilogy.

Doubly satisfying: We get not only a trenchant political drama but a bang-up concert film as well.” Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
