The new award winning film Youssou N’Dour: I Bring What I Love opens in Atlanta (Regal Tara Theater) on Friday, July 31st, after opening to great success in New York and Los Angeles – “One of the best openings for a documentary so far this year" - Indiewire. Opening weekend will feature Q&As with producer, Sarah Price.

An audience sensation at film festivals worldwide, I Bring What I Love takes you behind the scenes and into the world of Africa’s most famous musician: Youssou N’Dour. This never-before-told story follows N’Dour at a turning point in his life and career, as he releases his most personal and controversial album Egypt. But the singer’s hope for promoting a more tolerant face of Islam erupts in scandal and outrage in his native country that rejects the album and denounce it as blasphemous. Part explosive documentary, part stirring drama, I Bring What I Love is an unforgettable musical journey with an artist whose courage and conviction shook the music industry and ultimately awakened the world.
