This intimate portrait of iconic musician Bi Kidude features a classic soundtrack which spans one hundred years of Swahili music. Jones faithfully focuses on Bi Kidude's home island of Zanzibar, a place where she continually courts controversy, her behaviour challenging beliefs of the role of women in a Muslim society.
