The wounds of the survivors are indelible and are provoking another kind of tensions. It is the topic of the film by Les bienheureux - The Blessed by the Algerian director Sofia Djama presented at the 74th Venice Film Festival.

The Democratic Republic of Congo has an extreme difference: a paradise of beauty and wealth in opposite a hell of bad politics and outrageous external interventions.

"Growing in Congo because of God's will mean growing in paradise", says a character from the documentary This is Congo by director Daniel McCabe, presented at the 74th Venice Film Festival.

It narrates the civil war in the eastern Congo, lead by the armed group M23, supported by the two usual adversaries, Rwanda and Uganda.
