I Bring What I Love is an uplifting, music-driven journey into the power of one man’s voice to inspire global change. The film unfolds an extraordinary moment in the life of Youssou N’dour — the best selling and most influential African artist of all time. Director Chai Vasarhelyi tracks N’dour’s emotional journey over two years– filming his ever-shifting life in Africa, Europe, and America as N’Dour a devout Sufi Muslim, releases a deeply personal and religious album called Egypt in the hope of promoting a more tolerant face of Islam. The resulting portrait is not just of an incomparable musician turning his spiritual quest into art, but also that of a brave new world in which pop culture now has equal power to incite fury and invite new connections.
