Special Screenings of: This Is Congo

Directed by: Daniel McCabe / Documentary / 91min

Why is it that some countries seem to be continually mired in cyclical wars, political instability and economic crises?

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one such a place, a mineral-rich Central African country that, over the last two decades, has seen more than five million conflict-related deaths, multiple regime changes and the wholesale impoverishment of its people. Yet though this ongoing conflict is the world’s bloodiest since WWII, little is known in the West about the players or stakes involved.
