Democratic Republic of the Congo – Leaving the Conflict Behind? (6x1)

Udgivelsesdato: Okt 30, 2011

At the heart of Africa, the Congo for many people will always be associated with Joseph Conrad’s early twentieth-century novel the Heart of Darkness, a title that has become a by-word for the country. And for Benjamin and David, two former child soldiers, and Funaha held as a sex slave by one of the many militias that continue to terrorise the country that metaphor remains a daily reality. The film explores how this seemingly never-ending conflict impacts on the people of North Kivu.
