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.

On the Congo River, a perilous journey unfolds. At the helm of a giant raft, as large as a football field, Captain Aimé and his crew attempt to transport 220 tree trunks across hundreds of kilometers, from Kisangani to Kinshasa. Bound together by simple cables, these logs form a fragile yet essential vessel for the local economy.

Onboard, danger is constant: injuries, sudden storms, treacherous sandbanks… Yet, this raft is also a last hope for the poorest travelers, who use it to reach the capital, lacking the means for any other passage.

On land, the struggle is no less harsh. With no real public transport, travelers cram into overloaded freight trucks, enduring broken roads and extreme conditions. A grueling odyssey, reflecting the daily hardships along Africa’s greatest river.

Top 10 des hommes les plus riches du Congo Brazzaville en 2024
Top 10 des hommes les plus riches du Congo Brazzaville en 2024
Le Congo-Brazzaville, pays de l’Afrique centrale, est l'un des principaux producteurs de pétrole en Afrique, et son économie offre de nombreuses opportunités dans divers secteurs, du pétrole à l'agroforesterie. Dans cette vidéo, nous présentons le top 10 des personnes les plus riches du Congo-Brazza

(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.

Brazza City est une mini série Congolaise dont les acteurs sont des influenceurs, des artistes et des créateurs de vidéos.
Brazza-City est une série inspirée de la vie quotidienne des Congolais

@maroditvprod @Elite7Prod

Congo-Océan, un chemin de fer et de sang est un documentaire sur l'exploitation et la répression féroces des travailleurs congolais enrôlés de force par l'État colonial français pour construire la voie ferrée Congo-Océan à partir de 1921.

On the legendary Congo River, Commander Aimé is at the helm of a gigantic wooden raft the size of a football field. With his men, he is trying to transport 220 tree trunks linked together by cables from Kisangani to Kinshasa. The raft is also the cheapest means of transport for the most deprived who wish to reach the capital. On board, danger is daily, injuries, sandbanks and storms do not spare the men. For those who take the trails along the river, the conditions are not better. Without public transportation, travelers have no choice but to board freight trucks for an epic journey.

Directors: Antoine BODDAERT; Guillaume LHOTELLIER

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.

UN FILM CONGOLAIS (COURT MÉTRAGE) DE BEN CHANCEL RÉALISÉ PAR ARMEL TCHITCHIABA AU CONGO BRAZZAVILLE PRINCIPALEMENT DANS LA VILLE DE POINTE NOIRE PRODUIT PAR L'EGLISE HAUTS STANDARDS POUR CHRIST

They've eluded heat-seeking missiles, gone eyeball-to-eyeball with enraged 5,000-pound hippos, hacked through a jungle curtain. Still, the expedition continues. Amy, a gorilla who was part of a university learning experiment, is at last returning home. A professor (Dylan Walsh), electronics expert (Laura Linney), guide (Ernie Hudson), explorer (Tim Curry) and others follow the scampering ape. They know she will lead them to the place that's more than her home - it's the site of the fabled Lost City of Zinj and its diamond mines. But what they don't know can be fatal. Once they enter Zinj, they'll be the endangered species! From the best seller by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park) comes an even-packed adventure filled with state-of-the-art technology and primal fear.
