Following the Grammy-award winning Nigerian musician Wizkid from Lagos to Tottenham Stadium in London, Wizkid: Long Live Lagos is a raw look at the life of a boundary-pushing musician and the power of international music and art to shift perception and reclaim a sense of identity for its people. Motivated and inspired by his family and his home, Wizkid's sound has a modern flair but draws from deep roots. While his journey to the stage has its challenges, his determination and artistry ensure a mind-blowing show for all to see.

A deeply personal look at a singular musician, this film also outlines the expansion of African music to a global, mainstream stage where it's recognized as the many disparate genres and sounds it is. Tight editing, exclusive behind the scenes footage and a solid soundtrack round out this deeply engaging documentary.—Hope Wager
