ASNI: the Life of Asnaketch Worku - Courage, Passion & Glamor in Ethiopia

2013 · 80 min Documentary Music

A documentary film on an extraordinary artist called Asnaketch Worku who is as much a cultural icon to Ethiopians as Billie Holiday is to Americans and Edith Piaf to the French. Asnaketch lived her life on the edge of her artistry, over the edge of her passions. She brought high standards to theater and excitement to music in conservative Ethiopia in the 1950's-60's. Her gift and transparent nature made her infectious to audiences not only in Ethiopia but also around the world.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

ASNI: the Life of Asnaketch Worku - Courage, Passion & Glamor in Ethiopia is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A 2013 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
