Kinshasa Makambo

Spoken: Lingala. Subtitles: English.

Hundreds of young revolutionaries take to the streets of Kinshasa when Joseph Kabila, President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, refuses to relinquish power at the end of his second term. Protests are met with violence from the authorities but the battle for free elections and democracy cannot be repressed. Dieudo Hamadi follows three men at the heart of the resistance as they fight to forge a new path for their beloved country. Should one resist in exile, or fight on the ground in the Congo? Should resistance be non-violent or should force be used if required? Kinshasa Makambo explores the pros and cons of different forms of resistance.
