K'naan - Music For Human Rights from Yerosha Productions on Vimeo.
K’Naan reflects on growing up in Somalia and how his experiences
– coming of age in a cultured family and later having to deal with
violence and loss as war gripped Mogadishu – have informed his
songs. This candid profile was produced for the “Music For Human
Rights” series, a collaboration between Amnesty International
USA and Link TV for the 60th anniversary of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. Produced & directed by Steven
Lawrence.
