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.
