Hundreds of young revolutionaries take to the streets of Kinshasa when Joseph Kabila, President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, refuses to relinquish power at the end of his second term. Protests are met with violence from the authorities but the battle for free elections and democracy cannot be repressed. Congolese director Dieudo Hamadi follows three men at the heart of the resistance as they fight to forge a new path for their beloved country. A film with incredible access and unique insight, Kinshasa Makambo is a tense and urgent chronicle of a generation’s struggle to have their voice heard.

Please be advised that this film contains some scenes featuring violent imagery which some viewers might find distressing.
