They form a musical group called Staff Benda Bilili and eventually reach a worldwide acclaim. “Benda Bilili” translates as “look beyond appearances” in Lingala, one of the languages of the Congo. Come to share in their infectious music and compelling personal visions. This film’s soundtrack is in Lingala and French, with English open captions.
