They Will Have to Kill Us First:Malian Music in Exile, a film by Johanna Schwartz
SYNOPSIS
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.
"I am so proud to bring these musicians stories to the world. They've been through hell, and survived to sing about it. Though the conflict in Mali is still far from over, with extremist attacks continuing in the north and south to this day, I have no doubt that these musicians will continue to stand up and fight for their right to sing."
Director: Johanna Schwartz
NOTE: Film contains scenes of violence, mature audience only
