La Belle at the Movies plot

Kinshasa, 'Kin la Belle', is a city of 10 million people without a single cinema. The story of the city, of its apartheid era and of Mobutu's neo-colonialism is intertwined with the fate of its cinemas. The documentary also honors the so-called Kinshasa cowboys, who found their identity in the spaghetti westerns of the 1960s. Through interviews and poetic images, La Belle at the Movies provides a unique testimony of an African film industry in crisis, orphaned but hoping for a better future.
