Libende Boyz, meaning “Men of Steel” in Lingala, is the nickname of a group of young rappers who are fighting to tell their story and that of their hometown, Beni, a city in northeastern DR Congo, that has been routinely terrorized by civilian massacres since 2014. Fillmmaker Wendy Bashi accompanies the collective as they wield their unique blend of Congolese rumba, hip hop, dancehall, ragga and afrobeat in attempt to uplift their community and promote peace. But artistic expression is not always taken seriously in a city where everyone continually fears for their life. Following the Libende Boys in their public and private lives, Bashi weaves together voices of revolt, joy, love and friendship, creating a rich portrait of a resilient young generation busting with dreams of transforming the world around them.
