Knitting Factory will release a soundtrack album for the They Will Have To Kill Us First: Malian Music In Exile. The album features the film’s original score by Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, as well as the other music from the movie. The soundtrack will be reeled on March 4, 2016 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon. They Will Have to Kill Us First is directed by Johanna Schwartz and centers on Malian music group Songhoy Blues and musicians Khaira Arby, Fadimata “Disco” Walet Oumar and Moussa Siditakes who were forced into hiding or exile in the aftermath of Islamic jihadists taking control of northern Mali in 2012. The documentary premiered at last year’s SXSW Film Festival and will be released in New York theaters on March 11 followed by release in Los Angeles and other markets on April 1 by BBC Worldwide North America.
