About this event
Dir Louise Lockwood/GB 2026/92 mins In the summer of 2021, Kenyan-Scottish, singer and songwriter Beldina Odenyo is on the cusp of stardom. Hailed as a fierce, uncompromising artist with a voice that can silence a room, she is working on her eagerly awaited debut album. In October, she headlines at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall. Barefoot and cloaked in black, Bel delivers a performance that leaves the audience spellbound. Two weeks later, Bel takes her own life. She is 31. Bel tells the story of the artist behind that voice - and the sister determined to ensure her music will continue to live on after her death.
