On 12th August I997, an enormous crowd packs every inch of a large square in Lagos, Nigeria. Ten days earlier, singer Fela Kuti, the king of Afrobeat and a spiritual guide for millions, passed away. Now his people want to say goodbye. Present with his camera to capture the event is Italian director Michele Avantario, who in that unique musician had discovered a living god, a human, intellectual and religious reference point.
