During two years, Manu and his band Radio Bemba performed in front of three million people, appearing below Jay-z and Amy Winehouse at Glastonbury and headlining more than one hundred festivals from Russia to San Francisco. This unique footage takes us behind the scenes as they perform in front of hundreds of thousands of fans, rehearse in the peace and quiet of Manu’s homeland in Galicia, and hang out back-stage. From Tijuana to Toulouse, Glastonbury to Galicia, the excitement is palpable as Manu unleashes his high-energy performance, featuring live classics from across his albums.

The documentary is featured as a bonus on Manu’s forthcoming double album and DVD, Baïonarena, which is out on the 19th October (Because Music).

http://www.justiceforcolombia.org/

In 2006 and again in 2007 photographer Sam Green visited Colombia with the British Human Rights NGO `Justice for Colombia'. He had the opportunity to meet with and photograph some of the most threatened people in Colombia. Justice for Colombia also arranged for Sam to take his camera into one of Colombia's notorious prisons where he was able to photograph political prisoners - people jailed for their opposition to the Colombian regime.

“The photographs in 'Resistencia: Portraits of Colombia' are compelling and a powerful testament to those Colombians who, in spite of the horrors they face, continue to search for peace with social justice.”
