Ricky has a dream: to turn Benda Bilili into the best band in the Congo. Roger, a street urchin, wants more than anything to join the stars of Kinshasa's ghetto who careen through the city on customized Mad Max vehicles. But first of all they have to survive the pitfalls of the street, by singing and dancing to escape. This documentary covers five years, from the band's first songs to their success at festivals all over the world; Benda Bilili is the story of a dream come true. [Press release]
