- Why? Music
- Seen: 6 February 2022
A wonderful documentary of the incredible journey of a group of homeless and physically handicapped musicians from Congo Kinshasa to international success on music stages. The extreme poverty and economic oppression are painful to see. In the shadow of admiration of the musicians and joy at their success I feel anger that not everyone is given this chance, and that the poverty and oppression abound in the first place. Our world has wealth enough to prevent it.
