A cinematic capture of David Byrne’s Broadway show American Utopia, directed by Spike Lee. The film follows Byrne and a diverse troupe as they perform a choreographed stream of songs, social commentary and hypnotic visuals. Through intimate camera work and restrained staging, it distills the live experience into a documentary concert portrait about connection, empathy and the human urge to communicate in a mediated world. The narrative unfolds as a lyrical meditation on identity, collaboration and the power of performance to unite strangers.
