Description

This short film is streaming with Dark City Beneath the Beat.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the prevailing media narrative is the brutal toll of war, conflict and poverty. Three Congolese artists, driven by the desire to reclaim their history, present an alternative perspective in this collaborative documentary, which illustrates the power of art as a conduit for change. Eileen Arandiga
