UNDER AFRICAN SKIES

Expected to Attend: Joe Berlinger

Twenty-five years ago, Paul Simon’s “Graceland” album brought international attention to South African music while the country’s black populace still suffered under apartheid. By recording in South Africa, Simon defied the United Nations cultural boycott and became embroiled in controversy. Director Joe Berlinger (Oscar-nominated for Paradise Lost 3) follows Simon as he travels back to South Africa for a reunion concert with the “Graceland” band members and sits down with his former critic Dali Tambo for a probing dialogue about art and politics. Courtesy of A&E IndieFilms.
