This is the fabulous story of the first black superstar, Josephine Baker. Rare and unprecedented archives resolve the puzzle of Josephine’s fascinating fifty-year-long “headline-grabbing career”. This is the journey of a superstar’s awakening from the “banana dancer” to a humanist fighter. But can fame change the world? (quotation from www.documentarist.org)
