This music-infused cinematic portrait of world famous Senegalese pop star Youssou N'Dour follows the artist during the contentious period of time around the release of his album Egypt, a deeply spiritual album dedicated to a more tolerant view of Islam. While Western audiences embraced N'Dour's brave musical message, it encountered a serious religious backlash in his native country of Senegal where N'Dour is considered a national hero. Local critics and the media accused him of insulting Islam, arguing that pop and religious music should not mix. Combining unprecedented images of Senegal's most sacred Muslim rituals, vibrant concert performances filmed around the world, and intimate access to N'Dour and his family, this documentary chronicles the difficult path this remarkable artist chose to take, and is a stirring journey of faith, redemption, and the power of music to overcome intolerance.
