Gimme Some Truth Music Documentary Film Festival
A music documentary film festival in WA, curated by radio station RTRFM..

Closing night is Finding Fela, a film about the father of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti, that’s been doing the rounds of the global indie festival circuit to strong acclaim. There’s a tour documentary, Come Worry With Us!, which goes on the road with Canadian post-rock trio Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra.
