Synopsis: Paul Simon returns to South Africa to reunite with the musicians, including Ladysmith Black Mambazo, who collaborated on his mega-hit Graceland. The album's 1986 release put Simon in the eye of a storm of controversy for breaking the UN cultural boycott of the South African Apartheid regime. The record has sold more than 15 million copies, and proved both culturally and politically enlightening upon release - everyone from Oprah Winfrey to the alternative group Vampire Weekend are present here to cite its importance. But in making Graceland Simon defied both the United Nations cultural boycott of apartheid-era South Africa and the express wishes of the African National Congress (ANC).
Berlinger's own defining work, co-directed with Bruce Sinofsky, has been the Paradise Lost trilogy about the struggle of convicted child murderers the West Memphis Three to prove their innocence, and in certain ways Simon has a similar outlook. In 2011, to mark the 25th anniversary of Graceland's release, he returned to a markedly different South Africa to play a commemorative show in Johannesburg with the original musicians. Politely forthright and quietly determined,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Simon also wanted to face the accusations that he inadvertently supported the apartheid regime and used his South African collaborators.
Simon, who now looks more like a Supreme Court Justice than a successful musician, faced a political backlash and public protests when Graceland was a success and he went on tour with the musicians. He doesn't appear to have forgotten, and he's a curious mix of artistic naivete and hardheaded assertiveness. "They weren't free people,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Paul,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Tambo says, but while many of the musicians had had shows shut down by South Africa's then repressive white police force, they were happy to play and record with Simon, creating a musical synthesis that resulted in buoyant, complex songs such as 'The Boy in the Bubble' and 'Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes'.
Berlinger captures wizened fingers on strings as the reunion gig is rehearsed, but the energy and innovation of the music outweighs the effects of time. Berlinger doesn't overtly lean one way or another in deciding if Simon was right or wrong to record in South Africa, but he does show how the subsequent international gigs helped humanise the deprivations of apartheid for western audiences. The politics have faded but the songs are as good as ever, which is an answer in itself,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but one that allows for the wealth of character and testimony contained within this documentary to be heard and enjoyed. Under African Skies, like Graceland, has some serious grooves.
