The London Premiere of THIS IS CONGO took place at our Film Festival Benefit on Wednesday 7 March 2018 at the Royal Institute of British Architects to celebrate the power of film to raise awareness of human rights issues and the power of personal stories to galvanise action around the world.
In THIS IS CONGO, a whiste-blower, a patriotic military commander, a mineral dealer and a displaced tailor offer their perspectives on the problems that plague the Democratic Republic of Congo today. THIS IS CONGO provides a beautifully immersive and unfiltered look into the lives of four characters who exemplify a unique resilience while living through Africa’s longest continuing conflict.
The Film Festival Benefit marked the start of the 2018 Human Rights Watch London Film Festival which ran from 7-16 March in several venues throughout London.
Stay tuned for our 2019 Film Festival Benefit.
