Downstream to Kinshasa
By Dieudo Hamadi
For the past 20 years, victims of the Six Day War have been struggling to obtain the financial reparations promised by the Congolese government. In the face of political apathy, and despite severe handicaps, they strive to make their voices heard in Kinshasa, at the heart of power. Then begins an adventure on the Congo River. This powerful film, selected at the Cannes Film Festival, is the work of one of contemporary African cinema’s masters.
Co-presented with the Délégation Genève Ville Solidaire (DGVS), TRIAL International, Lawyers Without Borders Switzerland, Rose Lokissim Association and TV5Monde
