Program Note
Currently in Kinshasa, many children are abandoned by their parents due to the belief that they are possessed by demons. Jose, one of these abandoned children, together with his friends wander around the streets until they one day meet an eccentric manager called Bebson. Together they form a musical band to fight against the issues they themselves faced. Dominated by the disordered landscape of the streets in Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, this film treats the reality faced by local children who are mistakenly regarded as demon-possessed and kicked out of their homes. The camera first follows Jose, abandoned by his parents, and then soon after focuses on others in a similar situation. It is said that about 30,000 children live on the street in Kinshasa. The film criticizes irresponsible adults with its songs and touches the audience's heart through the children and through their songs and dance and their struggle to be heard and to live their lives in the best way they can. For them, only present is there and there is no future. (RHEE, Soue-won)
