Sello "Chicco" Twala is a study in contrasts: He's a black music star in South Africa who is richer than many of the whites but cannot vote due to apartheid. Iconic filmmaker Nick Broomfield follows Chicco as he faces upheavals in both his personal and professional lives -- his brother has recently been murdered, so Sello goes about planning the funeral. Meanwhile, a concert featuring Tracy Chapman may not happen due to white backers' refusal to pay black and white musicians the same rates.
