Congo in Four Acts
Dieudo Hamadi, Kiripi Katembo Siku, Divita Wa Lusala
2010 - 73 min - DV Cam - Afrique du Sud

These 4 shorts, by first-time Congolese filmmakers, offer a glimpse of life there, from the absurd to the horrifying to the heartbreaking; from mothers and their babies held hostage at a maternity hospital until they can pay their bills to small children breaking rocks at an exhausted mine. The filmmakers have shown moments that reveal the fragility, doggedness and beauty of ordinary people living in intolerable circumstances.
