I Shot Bi Kidude-Movie Story

I SHOT BI KIDUDE

the curious kidnap of the world’s oldest singer

UK cinemas: 21 March

www.radioﬁlm.co.uk #BiKidude

"A doc thriller with a deep emotional core” - Andy Markowitz, Music Film Web I SHOT BI KIDUDE is the latest ﬁlm by UK ﬁlmmaker Andy Jones that tells the story of iconic Zanzibari singer Bi Kidude's kidnapping and subsequent death in April 2013, following on from his ﬁrst acclaimed feature AS OLD AS MY

TONGUE, that ﬁrst immortalised Bi Kidude on screen, called "A delight from beginning to end” (The Independent).

I SHOT BI KIDUDE opens in UK cinemas from 21 March before going on general release in Zanzibar (from 17 April) and continuing its world-wide festival tour, with select live music performances from Mim Suleiman performing some of Bi Kidude's most famous songs.

Bi Kidude (pronounced Bee Key-Do-Day) was probably the world’s oldest singer. A 102 year old chain smoking, rebel rocking legend on her home island of Zanzibar and a veteran of music stages across the globe. Her repertoire embraced both classic taarab, a swirling mix of Indian ocean melodies backed by a full orchestra and also raw power drumming on an African msondo drum, with shattering rhythms and shrieking lyrics from age old women’s initiation ceremonies. Bi Kidude’s star rose further when she collaborated with Tanzanian hip-hop outﬁt Oﬀside Trick; becoming the ﬁrst Swahili video to hit 1 million youtube views.

In the summer of 2012 Bi Kidude was kidnapped. Unhappy that ‘unscrupulous’ members of the music scene were abusing her goodwill, her nephew Baraka took the ageing star from her home and aired his grievances on national television, slandering everyone he could think of in the process.

News of the saga reached the UK and as the months rolled on with no resolution in sight, Andy returned to Zanzibar to attempt to get to the bottom of the story. The team included veteran DJ and broadcaster Rita Ray (The Shrine, BBC Global Beats) alongside South African cinematographer Natalie Haarhoﬀ.

A helter-skelter shoot ended with the crew involved in brokering a fragile truce between the kidnapper and Bi Kidude’s musical friends, but the ailing icon remained under lock and key and prevented from what she loved doing most - singing.

Just a few weeks later, Bi Kidude was dead. Her ﬁnal words in AS OLD AS MY TONGUE had been ‘if I stop singing, how will I survive?’ Hearing the news, Andy checked his bank balance, grabbed a camera and headed for the airport. Catching an overnight ﬂight from Heathrow, he arrived in Zanzibar in time to catch the remarkable scenes as Kidude was given a state funeral. Her obituaries in the East African press compared her to Margaret Thatcher, who had been buried in London the day before. Zanzibar’s “iron lady” shared

none of Maggie’s politics, but her iron-like handshake and extraordinary force of character grabbed everyone who met her.

A newly re-mastered AS OLD AS MY TONGUE will also be released online on the anniversary of Bi Kidude's death 17 April, in an innovative strategy, which sees the ﬁlm premiering online in 44 countries around the world where Bi Kidude performed and where the ﬁlm has already screened. To unlock more territories - fans are encouraged to host their own screening of either ﬁlm.

LIVE MUSIC on tour with I SHOT BI KIDUDE

Born and raised in Zanzibar, Mim grew up hearing tales of Bi Kidude and ﬁnally met her hero in 2012 when they performed at Zanzibar’s Sauti za Busara music festival. The last known footage of Bi Kidude is a beautiful scene of her being serenaded by Mim. The ‘pint- sized performer with the planet-sized personality’ looks set to inherit Bi Kidude’s mantle as the voice of Zanzibar in years to come. www.mimsuleiman.co.uk

New Service Delivery Data Show Some Progress in TZ

Freddie Makangale 10:57:00 PM Local News

Tanzania has made significant progress in delivering education and health services, particularly in the areas of rural health infrastructure and teacher attendance, according to the latest Service Delivery Indicators.

However, the new data also highlight weaknesses that are contributing to low levels of learning in primary schools and tragic mortality levels among mothers and newborns. Tanzania’s maternal mortality rate is very high at 432 deaths per 100,000 live births.

“While Tanzania has reduced child mortality, mothers and newborns are still at high risk of untimely death; and while the country has achieved near-universal primary school enrollment, one in four children cannot read a paragraph in Kiswahili in Standard Four,” said Keith Hansen, World Bank Group Vice President for Human Development.

“Service Delivery Indicators are public data that citizens can use to hold the government accountable for education and health services, and that the government can use to inform reform efforts in these sectors. As Tanzania aspires to achieve middle-income status by 2025, SDI is an example of the kind of data transparency and accountability that could be transformational.”

Health infrastructure is improving rapidly, especially in rural Tanzania, going from 5 percent of health facilities with clean water, power, and improved sanitation in 2010 to 36 percent in 2014. Serious challenges remain, including getting more health workers out to rural areas—which have only 9 percent of the country’s doctors and 28 percent of its health workforce—and boosting their diagnostic capacity. The data show that three out of five health workers cannot identify severe dehydration, a fatal condition for children.

According to the latest information available to the press says in education, teacher absenteeism from schools has fallen sharply by 40 percent, leading to 24 more teaching days a year.

However, 37 percent of the teachers who were in school were still not in the classroom and teaching. Therefore, classroom absence remains a challenge and points to school leadership and management issues.

Teacher-pupil ratios have become more manageable, dropping by 20 percent across the country, but remain very high in urban schools. Importantly, teacher knowledge continues to be a serious issue, with only one in five mastering the curriculum they teach.

The World Bank, REPOA and the African Economic Research Consortium (AERC) have partnered to produce this round of data for Tanzania. SDI surveys have so far been done in eight African countries—Kenya, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Togo, and Uganda, capturing the service delivery experience of 370 million people. Tanzania and Senegal pioneered these surveys in 2010.

Ends.
