The Democratic Republic of the Congo has been stricken by war for decades. But little attention is paid to it by the media and the international community. Estimates put the number of victims in the millions, with no end in sight.
All parties in the conflict seem to be trapped in a spiral of violence. The disputes are over power, money and access to the country’s valuable natural resources.
Belgian film director Thierry Michel has been travelling throughout the Congo with his camera for over 30 years. He has witnessed the struggles and suffering, but also the hopes of the Congolese people. In the film, the speech by doctor and Nobel Peace Prize winner Denis Mukwege outlines the story of the relentless violence that has devastated and destroyed the Congo for so long.
None of the actors in this drama are spared in this uncompromising film - from Congolese rulers, to neighboring countries, to international institutions. The film draws on the UN Mapping Report, which records the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in the Congo between March 1993 and June 2003. The report names the perpetrators, which caused unease and was kept secret.
The film paints a contrasting picture of a country caught between outrage and solidarity. It speaks out in favor of coming to terms with history, and against forgetting. The film aims to play a role in setting the record straight. After decades of impunity, the film shows, those responsible for crimes must be brought to justice.

(23 Sep 1997) French/Nat
The once thriving Congolese capital Brazzaville has been transformed into a virtual ghost town following four months of fighting in the country's bitter civil war.
Almost all the residents of the city have fled and those that remain are too frightened to venture out. The streets are deserted, but for marauding bands of soldiers.
APTV has this special report.
The Congolese capital of Brazzaville has been ravaged over the last four months by a bitter civil war.
Nearly all the town's civilian population has fled to the countryside or across the river to Kinshasa, in neighbouring Congo.
Aid workers say only about 10 percent of the city's 800-thousand residents remain.
The streets are now the domain of militia members from both sides.
But the capital is held by rebel soldiers loyal to ex-president Sassou Nguesso.
His rebel troops are known as the Cobras.
For them, this is a war with few trained soldiers, little discipline and scarcely any vehicles.
In Cobra-held territory electricity and telephones are nearly non-existant and fuel
is in short supply.
But the Cobras say they will continue fighting to protect what is important to them despite their poor equipment.
SOUNDBITE:(French)
"We are not fighting because we like it or for personal reasons of finance or anything else. The reason we are fighting is the protection of our families".
SUPER CAPTION: Cobra Fighter
The badly armed fighters have managed to hold at bay the better supplied troops of President Pascal Lissouba and have captured three quarters of the country, as well as holding their positions in the capital.
Gunfire echoes regularly around the wreckage of the town, and the few people living there, the Cobras included, live in fear of Lissouba's helicopters, which have recently begun dropping heavy bombs.
Outside the compound of former president Sassou Nguesso is a reminder of the origins of the war.
This armoured personnel carrier was sent by President Lissouba to kill Sassou Nguesso in a move which sparked the conflict.
The former president left Brazzaville when the fighting got too close for comfort.
But his troops remain, patrolling the streets and manning checkpoints, their bravery fuelled by beer and their AK-47s, the only commodities they seem to have enough of.

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Captain Wanta (Delroy Lindo) gives his guests a warm welcome to Africa.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Good gorillas meet bad gorillas while human beings search for treasure in this jungle advnture saga. R.B. Travis (Joe Don Baker) is the ruthless head of Travi-Com, a telecommunications firm on the cusp of a major breakthrough in laser communications technology. However, Travis needs diamonds to finish the project, so he sends a group of men to Zaire, where he's told that a large supply of the gems can be easily found. When the men go missing, Travis sends his trusted assistant Karen Ross (Laura Linney), a one-time CIA associate, into the jungle to find both his staff and the jewels. Hoping to keep her mission a secret, Karen travels to Zaire in the company of Peter (Dylan Walsh), a researcher on primate development who is hoping to return Amy, a gorilla who has been taught sign language and can "speak" English with the help of a glove-controlled computer device. Also travelling with them is Herkermer (Tim Curry), a Romanian with a secret agenda: he's convinced that Amy can guide him to the Lost City of Zinj, where he believes that King Solomon's Mines are located. Upon arrival, the group is met by Monroe Kelly (Ernie Hudson), a self-described "great white hunter who happens to be black," and they discover that the jungle holds a menace that they weren't counting on: a tribe of bloodthirsty gray gorillas. Congo was based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Michael Crichton.
