For twenty-five years, the Democratic Republic of Congo has been torn apart by a war largely ignored by the media and the international community. The victims number in the hundreds of thousands, even millions. The perpetrators of these crimes are countless: rebel movements, but also armies, those of the Congo and neighboring countries. Everyone seems caught in a daze of killings, for power, for money, to monopolize the riches of the Congo with complete impunity, in general indifference. Traveling the Congo with camera in hand for thirty years, Thierry Michel has witnessed the fighting, the suffering but also the hopes of the Congolese people. Relaying the plea of Doctor Mukwege, Nobel Peace Prize winner, he retraces the sequences of this merciless violence which has ravaged and ruined the Congo for a quarter of a century.
