Thank you to Icarus Films for making this screening possible.
Downstream to Kinshasa (Feature Film): Permanently wounded victims of the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo make the trek to the capital to make their voices heard, to demand dignity and some kind of compensation.
Hibiscus Season (Short Film): Zaire, January 1993. Rachel's family, an 8-year-old French girl, lives in Kinshasa in a house overlooking the Congo River. A sensual and intimate film about memory, writing and forgetting.
About the Pairing: Taking place a few years before events which set Downstream to Kinshasa in motion but still part of the same chain, Hibiscus Season presents the honest if hazy account of a family whose experience of war in Kinshasa greatly differs from those who seek justice in the feature presentation.
