Paul Simon: Under African Skies (2012)

Paul Simon returns to South Africa to explore the incredible journey of his historic Graceland album, including the political backlash he received for allegedly breaking the UN cultural boycott of South Africa designed to end the Apartheid regime. On the 25th anniversary of Paul Simon's GRACELAND, acclaimed documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger offers a glimpse at the controversy surrounding the decision to record the album in South Africa despite a UN boycott of the nation, which was aimed at ending apartheid. In the run-up to an eagerly anticipated reunion concert, Simon, Quincy Jones, Peter Gabriel, David Byrne, Harry Belafonte, Paul McCartney and others reflect on the decision to record with local artists in South Africa, and the cultural impact of the album that delivered such hits as "I Know What I Know" and "You Can Call Me Al.

This documentary manages to paint a good picture of the hardships of apartheid and portrays how music can overcome many large problems. As well as a good opportunity to reflect on how silly the un acted in response to Paul Simon's trip to South Africa. The music is also thoroughly enjoyable as well as guests varying from Paul McCartney to Oprah Winfrey. My only negative from the documentary was the pace, which I think was to slow. 4 stars.

The film's most rewarding decision is to tackle the controversy, taking this from mere retrospective to a far more interesting film about artistic collaboration and power dynamics.

This was an outstanding movie for anyone who liked "Graceland "

Amazing, just amazing. We saw Paul Simon at the Montreaux Jazz Festival in July 2011, just before he went back to SA for the reunion. The concert was an amazing almost religious experience. Seeing the film made me appreciate Paul Simon even more than I have for the last 45 years. What an artist. The movie brought tears to my eyes throughout.
