Fela Kuti Documentary
Seeing as how it's Funk Friday or whatever, I thought I'd post this. As angry protest music goes, it don't get much funkier than Fela.

I've seen it
It's great to hear "the hits" live but some of the subject matter is watered down a bit & there's something just not quite right about doing Coffin For Head Of State with JAZZ HANDS!
Well worth 30 quid if you're a fan though.

i heard there is a lot of 'audience participation'
is it cringeworthy?

It's not too excessive
There is a bit quite near the beginning that involves some dancing but asides from that it's just a bit of call & response stuff.
