Bull shit, you definitivelly have to chill out! An established musician from America (doesnt matter what colour he is) goes to Africa, with nothing but good intentions, gets a band together with established local musicians and records an album. The result of this peaceful musical-culture exchange is one of the best albums in the history of popular music, from which all the musicians involved benefit in accordance to the work put in to the project!

You must be African American, cos no African would speak such blasphemy. This was for myself and my family a first glimpse into what South African music was and with the concert a glimpse into how beautiful an apartheid-free South Africa would look like. FYI what you call a shack we in Africa call a house and there is no shame in having less than your friend only in not appreciating what you have. Graceland is the greatest symbol of how powerful music can be.

Typical ignorant, jealous, racist, moron (you) with his head so far up his ass, he hasn't seen daylight since the Clinton administration. Where do people like you come from??? Pull your panties out of your ass & go buy a F#$%ing clue.

Amazing documentary! A must watch!

[AngelusDlion]

Did you even watch the video and see the comments or did you just cry "The man is keeping us down?"

Graceland is one of my favorite albums period.

Prodaga84 we are not all morons, and we do not all live in palatial mansions of which I am sure you are aware. I am taking a Coursera course online for free and it led me to look deeper into the making of this album and now the film. The multiple issues discussed are so divisive, but I don't think they have to be. I wish we could learn to converse with each other in an attempt to find understanding. One can hope.
