Miriam Makeba, born into poverty and oppression, discovers her extraordinary voice at a young age, leading her to a life of singing in local choirs. As apartheid tightens its grip on South Africa, Miriam's music becomes a symbol of hope and resistance, making her an enemy of the state. Forced into exile, she embarks on a global journey, using her music to raise awareness about the injustices back home. Along the way, she encounters luminaries like Harry Belafonte, Nina Simone, and Martin Luther King Jr., forging powerful friendships and alliances in the struggle for civil rights.
