They Will Have to Kill Us First (2015)

In 2012, jihadists took control of northern Mali. They imposed one of the strictest interpretations of sharia law in history. On August 12th they banned music - radio stations destroyed, instruments burned and musicians facing torture, even death. Overnight, Mali's most revered members of society – the musicians – were forced into hiding or exile. This film follows Mali's musicians as they fight to keep music alive in their country. We witness fierce battles between the army and the jihadists, capture life over borders at refugee camps where money and hope are scarce, follow perilous journeys home to war ravaged cities, and for one band, Songhoy Blues, their path to international stardom.

Schwartz ... expertly captures the sights, sounds and general bustle of Mali, imbuing her sometimes harrowing film with warmth, intimacy and vitality.

They Will Have to Kill Us First sends a clear message from Mali's musicians to their oppressors-you can turn cities into ghost towns, take away radio stations, and destroy instruments, but we'll never stop making music.

Excellently done. Another country suffering at the hands of radical Islamic terrorist. But these people have a lot of heart.

Johanna Schwartz's worthy documentary follows some of Timbuktu's most prominent musicians as they flee south to avoid the violence, join forces for concerts of protest, and eventually return in muted triumph to their liberated lands.
