Synopsis
A documentary about the late Miriam Makeba, the phenomenally talented and charismatic musical icon from South Africa. She travelled the world, spreading a message against racism and poverty, and raising a voice for equality and peace. “Mama Africa” is an homage to an extraordinary and impressive artist who, through more than 50 years of performing, embodies the voice and the hope of Africa.
