I SHOT BI KIDUDE
In late 2012, Tanzanian media reported that 100 year old singer,
Zanzibari cultural icon Bi Kidude had been kidnapped by a
relative who claimed that longtime musical and business associates
were mistreating her. UK independent film-maker Andy Jones, who
examined Kidude's mythic life in the documentary As Old As My
Tongue, returned to Stone Town to investigate.
The result is a new feature length thriller with a deep emotional
core. I Shot Bi Kidude chronicles the curious final months of a
music legend while telling how a white filmmaker from England's
West Midlands forged an abiding bond with Africa's oldest singer.
