Black to Freedom (2017)

Opening on his own birth in Africa and then on his discovery of Fela Kuti, Romeo Sahi weaves links between his journey and that of Fela, both inscribed in the history that transcends them, that of the Black man. Through archive images, meetings around the world and interviews with sociologists, philosophers, historians, musicians, artists or biographers, the author takes us on a spiritual and existential journey. We cross the history of slavery, segregation and pan-Africanism, punctuated by ethereal beats, letting ourselves be invaded by the breath of words and saxophone.
