The Congo Tribunal
Director: Milo Rau Germany, Switzerland
30/10 (Tue) 7:30pm
2017 | 100' 00" | French, English, German, Swahili & Lingala with English subtitles | DCP | Colour
Filmed on-location in eastern Congo and in Berlin, the harrowing theatre and film project The Congo Tribunal offers a profound analytic tableau of the causes and background of one of the biggest and bloodiest economic wars in the history of mankind – the war affecting the Great Lakes region of Central Africa for the past 20 years. Triggered by the Rwandan genocide of 1994, the conflict known as Africa’s first world war has claimed up to six million lives. Many observers not only see it as a fight for political predominance in Central Africa, but also one of the most decisive economic battles in the era of globalisation. No longer fueled by ethnic differences, the war continues as a struggle over global interests and natural resources. For The Congo Tribunal, Milo Rau gathered victims, perpetrators, witnesses and analysts of the conflict for a unique civil tribunal – creating an unveiled portrait described by The Guardian as “one of the most ambitious pieces of political theater” ever produced.
