*****
Benda Bilili! is an uplifting documentary of epic proportions. It's the true story of a group of disabled Congo street musicians who make it into the music industry. Their story is simple and sweat, neither one of them ever lets their disability get in the way of their struggles or determination. They are also the most lovable bunch of people you'll ever meet. Ricky, the leader, is a great guy, full of charisma and an inspiration to so many. I love the way he shouts at the kids "Get off my Wheelchair, what are you the village idiot?". Highly recommended!
