Kinshasa Kids

A film crew observes life in African Kinshasa whose streets are the shelter for a group of unwanted children who dream about forming an “a capella” group. The children of the street live out-doors, they scrape for their daily living, and steal here and there. The film, using documentary methods to narrate a fictional story, depicts the rituals of exorcising the devil out of the poor little wretches, the overcrowded streets and omnipresent poverty of the locals. At the same time, the film captures African rhythms and introduces several innovative musicians and their authentic view on the streets of the cities where children and teenagers try to follow their dreams.
