Directed by Karam Gill, the documentary is hailed as a powerful narrative that showcases Wizkid’s meteoric rise and his impact on how Africa is perceived and heard globally.

In addition to the screening, Wizkid and Karam Gill will host a discussion at the festival, where the Nigerian megastar will provide insights into his remarkable career.

This new project comes five years after Wizkid released a short film promoting the deluxe version of his Grammy-nominated album Made in Lagos.

Gill’s documentary further cements Wizkid’s legacy, joining the ranks of iconic musicians like Fela Kuti and William Onyeabor, whose careers have also been immortalised on film.
