We go with Bela to Tanzania, Uganda, the Gambia and Mali and see the beauty and complexity of "the dark continent." The banjo was originally an African instrument and Fleck is passionate about the banjo. He felt that a trip to Africa was necessary to understand the instrument better. We get a look at Africa that is very different than the way it is portrayed in today's media. Fleck has a great love for African music. We see and hear several of his collaborations with all kinds of musicians from local villagers to international superstars. As he traveled, he used his banjo to transcend whatever barriers there were--speech, culture, etc and he found a common ground with musicians from all over and was able to create, arguably, the most meaningful music of his career. 97 min.
