POTSDAM – Cinema 10 begins its Spring 2012 season Monday, Feb. 13 with a showing of Benda Bilili!, a 2010 film about aspiring young musicians in the Congo.

Films are shown on Mondays at 7:15 p.m. in the Roxy Theater, Main St.

Tickets are $4.50 general/$35 season or $3.50 student/senior/$25 season.

Ricky’s dream is to make Staff Benda Bilili the best music band in Kinshasa, Congo while Roger, a kid from the streets, wishes more than anything to join the ghetto stars who, tied to their wheelchairs, enlighten the city with music.

Over a five year-span, from the initial rehearsals to their final triumph at worldwide music festivals, their song and dance performances bring joy and escape from a confining environment.
