Miriam Makeba was the first superstar and a tireless fighter for human rights - as a result of which she wasn't able to return to South Africa for decades. She made a hit in the US, but lost her appeal when she married the leader of the Black Panthers. With archival footage and interviews with people who knew Makeba, *Mika Kaurismäki* offers a documentary portrait of the charismatic singer.
