YOUSSOU N'DOUR: I Bring What I Love

Senegalese pop sensation Youssou NDour has spent the last 20 years as a world-renowned
musician and the iconic representative "voice of Africa." This film chronicles the creation
and impact of his latest album, Egypt, dedicated to a more tolerant view of Islam.

An audience sensation at film festivals worldwide, I Bring What I Love takes you behind the
scenes and into the world of Africas most famous musician, Youssou NDour. This
never-before-told story follows NDour at a turning point in his life, as he releases his most personal
and controversial album, Egypt. But the singers hope for promoting a more tolerant face of Islam
erupts in scandal and outrage in his native country that rejects the album and denounces it as
blasphemous. Part explosive documentary, part stirring drama, I Bring What I Love is an unforgettable
musical journey with an artist whose courage and conviction shook the music industry and
ultimately awakened the whole world. (USA, 2008, 102 min., Dir: Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi
