Benda Bilili: We hear all about an extraordinary documentary that follows 'Staff Benda Bilili', a band of disabled Congolese musicians and street children, who electrify the streets of Kinshasa with the sounds of rumba-rooted grooves, vibrant vocals and echoes of old-school rhythm and blues. The film follows their journey from rehearsing on the sidewalks of Kinshasa, and local zoo, to performing their first European concerts, singing songs about the polio that impaired them and life on the street whilst "sheges," abandoned kids, follow and give a helping hand to the band.

Submarine The director and cast of this acclaimed new comedy discuss the film which follows a 15-year-old boy with two objectives: To lose his virginity before his next birthday, and to stop his mother from leaving his father for her dance teacher.
