Highly immersive and eye-opening, Daniel McCabe’s documentary takes a unique look at the world's longest continuing conflict and those who are surviving within it. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has seen more than five million conflict-related deaths, multiple regime changes and the impoverishment of its people over the past two decades. Following four compelling characters—a whistleblower, a patriotic military commander, a mineral dealer, and a displaced tailor—This is Congo offers an authentic on-the-ground perspective on the complex problems facing this lushly beautiful nation.
