To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Graceland, Paul Simon sets off to South Africa where he recorded his famous album with the participation of local musician. It was a controversial decision at that time because of isolationist policy towards South Africa in protest against apartheid, which included the boycott of its culture. Today, Simon explains his motives analyzing the relationship between arts and big politics. The film also features Harry Belafonte, David Byrne, Peter Gabriel, Philip Glass, Whoopi Goldberg and Quincy Jones.
