About the documentary
Documentary about Staff Benda Bilili, a band formed in Kinshasa, the capital of DR Congo, from an alliance of street kids and four older men left paraplegic after contracting poliomyelitis in their youth. From extremely humble beginnings in the chaos and criminality of one of the African continent's great musical hotbeds, the film follows the band members as they take their style of music to Europe.
