Aroview: Twenty-five years after the phenomenal success of 'Graceland', Paul Simon on his return to South Africa to reconnect with the musicians who contributed immeasurably to its success in this inspiring and musically infectious documentary.

Also examined is the value of artistic expression and camaraderie versus collective political action as he explains his much-criticised decision to break the UN cultural boycott designed to end the Apartheid regime.
