Amazing doc about colonialism, liberation, the Cold War and Dizzy Gillespie’s run for the White House. Obviously amazing soundtrack, but great archive as well. Deserves all the awards it gets.
Watched for the first time since it was released. Remembered it as a slow, meandering film, probably because I thought then it would be along the lines of Juice, Do The Right Thing etc, etc. Watching it back it’s a definite ‘indie’ take on that genre, with the usual tropes of random juxtaposition, bizarre meetings and humorous framing.

Lines and good sight gags. Watch the cartoons! . Forest Whitaker is ace. Definitely recommend.
