Prolific Oscar-winning documentary film-maker Alex Gibney (The Armstrong Lie) delivers a straightforward, though nonetheless engrossing, biography of Nigerian musician and activist Fela Kuti in Finding Fela. Opting for the warts’n’all approach, Gibney regularly tests the viewer’s potential affection for a central subject who championed democracy in west Africa yet announced of his attitude to women: “When you are in the home, your husband can kick your ass.” A difficult guy, to say the least. A powerful film. Alex Gibney, 15, 102min
