Event Description

We’re kicking off music documentaries season at film club with:

MAMA AFRICA (2011)
Directed by Mika Kaurismäki

An unforgettable portrait of Miriam Makeba (1932-2008), the world-famous South African artist and civil right activist, who devoted her life to promoting peace and justice and fighting racism around the planet. A figurehead of the Black African movement in exile, her music and daily practice incarnated the hopes and fears of Africa through the convulsive 20th century, so that she has come to be considered the voice and mother of the Continent.

Films starts at 7.30pm.
