Libya, 2011…Amidst the bloody revolution to overthrow the tyrant Moammar Gaddafi, a defiant music scene emerges from the dust of war. After 42 years of silence, Benghazi suddenly resounds with a melodic fury, with hip-hop, heavy metal, rock, blues, and even country music echoing around the city. Stronger than Bullets introduces the musicians who rise, and follows them as they stand shoulder-to-shoulder, guitar to rifle, alongside rebel fighters. But victory soon descends into conflict and chaos. The musicians once again must practice in secret, their very right to play being threatened. Yet hope remains alive in these musicians, as they believe that "Strings (are) stronger than bullets. Strings never die."
