Youssou N'dour: I Bring What I Love
Directed and produced by Chai Vasarhelyi
Run time: 102 minutes
Film sponsored by Bergen County Links
Rated PG
Q&A with Chai Vasarhelyi will follow the screening

This is an uplifting, music-driven journey into the power of one mans voice to inspire millions. The film unfolds an extraordinary moment in the life of Youssou Ndour - the best selling and influential African pop artist. The Grammy Award winning cultural ambassador has long been renowned for bringing people of diverse nations and backgrounds together through his collaborations with such musical superstars as Bono, Paul Simon and Peter Gabriel and for rousing global audiences with his honey-like voice, electrifying rhythms and impossibly catchy melodies. But when he releases his most daringly personal and spiritual album yet, Ndour instead rocks his Muslim fans in Africa. Now, even as he garners accolades in the West, Ndour must brave controversy and rejection at home as he sets out to win his audience back Director Chai Vasarhelyi tracks Ndours emotional journey over two years  filming his ever-shifting life in Africa, Europe, and America. The 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.
