In his wildly popular Broadway show American Utopia, David Byrne reflects on human connections, life, and how we navigate it all, joining the dots with his music. Director Spike Lee transforms the stage production into immersive, dynamic cinema, featuring astounding performances, inventive contemporary dance, and a strong sense of political urgency.

The film flows like an iridescent dream, drawing on work by James Baldwin, Janelle Monáe, and Kurt Schwitters alongside exhilarating renditions of Byrne's solo material and Talking Heads classics. Anti-fascist and anti-racist in spirit, Byrne and his co-performers illuminate our shared responsibility to care for one another.
