The band Devo is being celebrated at the Sundance Film Festival with a new documentary that looks back on their 50 years in the music industry. Reviews of the documentary praise it as a perfect tribute to the iconic band, with one reviewer stating that it offers a vibrant, jazz-led history lesson on colonial machinations in the Congo. The documentary is described as outstanding, tying the democratic movement in Africa in the 1960s with black US musicians used by the CIA as pawns in the Cold War.
