Hundreds of young revolutionaries take to the streets of Kinshasa when Joseph Kabila, President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, refuses to relinquish power at the end of his second term. Protests are met with violence, but the battle for free elections and democracy cannot be repressed.
""Kinshasa Makambo" is a film by Congolese director Dieudo Hamadi about three young activists and their different ways of trying to bring democracy to a country that has never witnessed a peaceful transition of power. The documentary emanates a political power that shines through the screen with Hamadi's brilliant command. With a mix of idealism and pragmatism, it brings a precise look at people who go after their ideas regardless of the governmental situation they are in. Resistance is the people's greatest and best weapon. Without a doubt, a production that makes us reflect on the Republic of Congo and also on Brazil."
