Benda Bilili

Summer 2009. Five paraplegics and a young able-bodied teenager light up the stage in front of an entranced audience of 8.000 people. Benda Bilili - in English "See Beyond", is the name of this Kinshasa band, which has acquired a global following. Chances of success were slim at first for these homeless handicapped artists, who struggled to survive on the streets of their dilapidated capital. Benda Bilili is not a music film; it's the story of a dream that became reality.
