The films: MALI BLUES, by Lutz Gregor, with Fatoumata Diawara, Ahmed Ag Kaedi, Bassekou Kouyaté and Master Soumy. A musical journey through Mali and a meeting with the many aspects of its rich musical culture that these artists use to counter Sharia and other horrors in this country torn by dark proxy wars.

LA DANSE DE JUPITER by Renaud Barret and Florent de la Tullaye, with Jupiter Bokondji as the binding and driving force among the many artists, talented street children and invalids that live in the melting pot of Kinshasa's ghettos. “In Kinshasa, all my neighbors come from a different region. We all live together peacefully as if in a village. There is no tribalism or racism. It is the politicians who invented that. Divide and rule is their motto. We want to reunite the people with our music.” (English subtitled)
