Senegalese pop sensation Youssou N’Dour has spent the last 20 years in the spotlight as a world-renowned musician. At the height of his career, Youssou became frustrated by the negative perception of his Muslim faith and composed Egypt, a deeply spiritual album dedicated to a more tolerant view of Islam. The album’s brave musical message was wholeheartedly embraced by Western audiences but ignited serious religious controversy in his homeland of Senegal. The film chronicles the difficult journey Youssou undertakes to assume his true calling.
