At the heart of the black continent, after thirty years of independence and twenty-five years of Mobutu rule… what does the future hold for Zaïre? For five weeks, Thierry Michel filmed Kinshasa, the capital city, from every angle. The Kinshasa of beggars, transeints and social outcasts. The Kinshasa also of bourgeois traders and religious and military dignitaries. Lastly the Kinshasa of the popular districts, burying their dead, martyrs to dictatorship.
