You must be logged in and have a valid library card to stream downloadable content

For many people, the Congo will always be associated with Joseph Conrad's early twentieth-century novel the Heart of Darkness, a title that has become a by-word for the country. The metaphor remains a daily reality for former child soldiers Benjamin and David, and Funaha, a young woman held as a sex slave by one of the many militias that continue to terrorize the country. The film explores how this seemingly never-ending conflict impacts on the people of North Kivu
