Leading Congolese documentary filmmaker Dieudo Hamadi plunges the viewer into the heart of a non-violent revolutionary movement with this gripping portrait of three young men dedicated to removing President Joseph Kabila from power. The film opens in the fall of 2017, one year after impending presidential elections were delayed until early 2018, long after Joseph Kabila’s term as President of the Democratic Republic of Congo was supposed to elapse. On the streets of Kinshasa, hundreds of young men face the military to demand Kabila’s ouster, often at the risk of their lives.
