In his native Ivory Coast, Alpha Blondy has emerged as the voice of the voiceless to become a symbol of hope. If he is seen as a visionary, he is also sometimes the "Court Jester". This is the first portrait about him. It's a movie musical that combines biographical, political and spiritual thoughts. Following the songs that have marked our time, the singer remembers moments that made him a star. A living myth that belongs to the contemporary history of Africa.

PORTUGUESE
Alpha Blondy surgiu na Costa do Marfim como a voz dos sem-voz e um símbolo de esperança. Realizado por uma jornalista da Rádio França Internacional (RFI), este primeiro documentário sobre o astro do reggae revela, através de arquivos raros da Rádio Televisão da Costa do Marfim (RTI) e sequências rodadas entre 2000 e 2008, seu início como cantor na televisão, sua explosão nos anos 1980, sua luta pela democracia na África, seu posicionamento político, suas considerações espirituais. À vontade em canções que marcaram época, Blondy lembra episódios que fizeram dele um mito vivo da África contemporânea.
