Benj brings the bling home

"Mongolian Bling" has been a labour of love for Benj for several years - inspired by his time spent working as a tour guide on the Trans Siberian Railway, it's about modern Mongolia, as seen through the prism of the local hip hop music scene and the stories of the rappers that inhabit it.

Benj has spent much of the past 12 months travelling the world and showing "Mongolian Bling" to sell out crowds, from England to the United States, Spain to Mexico, and many places in between, including a World Premiere at Mongolia's capital, Ulaanbaatar.

It's won awards and rave reviews and Benj is looking forward to bringing it "home" to Swanpool.

"We used to frequent (Swanpool Cinema) when we were growing up, go across there for the double feature and the choc tops, so it's great to be screening there and being able to bring it to a local audience as well," Benj said.
