This Is Congo, Screening & Q&A with Director

Q&A with Hudson-based director Daniel McCabe following 7:45pm screening. Why is it that some countries seem to be continually mired in cyclical wars, political instability, and economic crises? The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one such place, a mineral-rich Central African country that, over the last two decades, has seen more than five million conflict-related deaths, multiple regime changes, and the wholesale impoverishment of its people. Though this ongoing conflict is the world’s bloodiest since WWII, little is known in the West about the players or stakes involved.
