Screening of a documentary film at 32nd Druga godba international festival
They Will Have To Kill Us First: Malian music in exile is a feature-length documentary following musicians in Mali in the wake of a jihadist takeover and subsequent banning of music. Music, one of the most important forms of communication in Mali, disappeared overnight in 2012 when Islamic extremists groups rose up to capture an area the size of the UK and France combined. But rather than lay down their instruments, Mali’s musicians fought back. Declared “Essential viewing” (Dazed & Confused), and “A gripping, powerful documentary” (Indiewire), They Will Have to Kill us First screens in UK cinemas October 2015.
Entrance free for Druga godba festival tickets holders.
*Languages: English, Songhay, Bambara, French, Tamashek with English subtitles.
Organised by Druga godba in collaboration with Kino Šiška.
