As one of two major documentaries on hotly debated Senegalese world musician Youssou N’Dour to emerge within a year of one another (see also Youssou N’Dour: Return to Gorée), this particular chronicle was produced and shot over a period of several years. Helmed by director Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, it witnesses the evolution and production of N’Dour’s June 2004 album Egypt, on the Nonesuch label — the recording that details N’Dour fully expressing his newfound Muslim faith. A veritable bedrock of controversy, the album courted objections from multiple countries: Americans objected because of their post-9/11 tendencies to attribute Islam to violent extremism; Senegalese DJs and radio-station proprietors objected given the odd discomfiture associated with playing religious music about Allah alongside often-racy selections by other acts. Even more significantly, N’Dour inadvertently carried this controversy a step further by performing live during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan — thus infuriating Senegalese religious conservatives. The film witnesses N’Dour confronting these challenges head-on and, incredibly, surmounting them with great ease and finesse., Senegalese world musician Youssou N’Dour is profiled in this absorbing documentary from director Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi. The film chronicles the evolution and production of N’Dour’s 2004 album “Egypt,” which details his Muslim faith. In addition, N’Dour deals with criticism from Senegalese religious conservatives after he performs a live concert during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Never one to shy away from controversy, N’Dour confronts a series of challenges with graceful finesse.
