Kongo lives in Brussels, in the Matonge district on which he is writing a book. His editor wants a kind of traveler's book spiced with ethnic ingredients. However, the writer is inspired by the vision of complex and tormented souls that he meets at all crossings. Kongo Congo follows invisible ways connected to the Congolese history and its ghosts. How is it possible to stand upright among this chaotic history?
This film is a selection from the African Film Festival of New York's Traveling Series, presenting the best work of contemporary African directors. Co-sponsored by The Center for African Studies.
