[Documentary] A chronicle of DR Congo from 1994-2000, unpacking the complex flow of events (aftermath of genocide in Rwanda, fall of Mobutu dictatorship, first and second Congo wars). With astonishing access to key political and military players in the conflict -- including presidents Kabila, Kagame, Museveni-- El-Tahri has created an essential historical document on the geopolitics of Central Africa and its wider implications that remains as relevant today as it was nearly a decade ago.
