An audience sensation at film festivals worldwide, part documentary, part stirring drama I Bring What I Love takes you behind the scenes and into the world of Africa's most famous musician: Youssou N'dour.
The film follows the release of the album Egypt which N’Dour had hoped would help promote a more tolerant face of Islam. Yet, when his fellow Senegalese reject the album, and denounce it as blasphemous, he takes this as a challenge to go deeper, to reach out to those who would attack him and to work even harder to use the storytelling impact and infectious beats of his songs to unite a divided world. The resulting portrait is not just of an incomparable musician turning his spiritual quest into art, but also that of a brave new world in which pop culture now has equal power to incite fury and invite new connections.
