This biopic is an homage to the South African Miriam Makeba, who not only became one of the most acclaimed singers of her time, but was also an outspoken advocate of a free South Africa. She was exiled in 1959 for 30 years, during which she never ceased to emphasize that her fellow countrymen were „living in a prison". Not long after his release, Nelson Mandela called Makeba and asked her to come home. This documentary is jam-packed with remarkable archive footage and interviews with many renowned people, and Makeba's performances serve as peaceful pauses.
