What do you get when you mix colonial politics, the CIA and a slew of incredible jazz icons? A wildly inventive and superbly edited documentary that makes wonderful use of a treasure trove of archives to tell a very knotty, and sometimes incredulous, history of power, music and politics.
‘Belgian filmmaker Johan Grimonprez’s unclassifiable documentary … is a mind-blowingly rich tapestry of research, music, and the jazziest history lesson imaginable.'
