Following Nigeria's independence in 1960, the British left the country but multinationals began to proliferate thought the land, specially after the discovery of the region's largest oil well. Agriculture, which had previously given the country a degree of economic equilibrium, was hurt by the agreement between Nigeria's new leaders and foreign investors, which resulted in the expansion of the oil fiends and the destruction of agricultural land. The documentary reflects this situation through the musician and political activist Fela Kuti and his son Fema Kuti. Music is depicted as the awakening of a conscience, as a celebration of life and African roots, and as an indictment of a government that acts as a franchise of western multinationals.

They sell the fetishes of commercial globalization - Hulk statues, 7-Up, national and international currencies - but not on the official market, from which they've been left out. It's a persistent, daily effort, Sisyphean and heroic at the same time, for despite the artfulness of the work, the jingles, the heckling,the sweat, nothing much happens (compared to the profits made by the crusaders of globalization), the world just streams by, and at the end of the day you pack up your things and leave and in your absence the world keeps on going without you.
