Free Congo Tour Film Screening, Discussion, and Photo Exhibition

We have partnered with Friends of the Congo and the Bansandja Coalition, who have put together an eight-city tour, which includes San Francisco, in order to share powerful stories of movement building in the Congo's rainforest, mining communities, and conflict zones. The event will include a film screening of the film "Katasumbika", a post-film discussion, and a photo exhibit.

KATASUMBIKA: The world was shocked to witness the people in eastern DR Congo demand the departure of the UN peacekeepers, even resorting to force. How can we understand this outrage toward a mission that is supposed to help the people? Through a testimonial approach, the film reflects on what has been left out of the frame in the colonial project and its legacy. By following the thread of history, the chain of natural resource extraction, and the vein of violence, will the sounds of indigenous resistance be heard?
