Since 2014 in Beni (North Kivu), fear has become a permanent member of all families in this region of the Democratic Republic of Congo. In this context, a group of young rappers dream of glory and success. The Libende Boyz, which means Men of Steel, believe that one day Beni will no longer be compared to Mosul but to Los Angeles. Director Wendy Bashi paints a rich portrait of a resilient youth full of dreams who want to transform Beni into the new capital of rap.
