The struggle of Soweto's 'Lion King'

Available for over a year

Born under apartheid and in poverty, South African composer Lebo M grew up loving music and became a performer at a young age. His talent took him on a tumultuous journey from Soweto to Hollywood. As he worked on the music for Disney's hit animation 'The Lion King' and as apartheid came to an end in South Africa, the story of those lions fighting for their kingdom took on a whole new relevance to him.
