Wissenswertes
This is the first Congolo-Americain effort. Three American actors were flown to the DR-Congo. One, Brandon Ray Olive, noticed that a child was limping. He then saw that the child's toe was missing. The foot had apparently been injured recently. Mr. Olive had a first aid kit and dressed the child's wound.

Touching, landmark film that sets a high bar for cinema in the DRC

Having seen Heart of Africa at a festival (had some technical deficiencies, of course) and in the final release, I can say it now competes with the best of them and does so beautifully. It's not meant to be like anything you've seen. It was shot completely in the DRC with the intent of showing the country for what it presently is. The filmmakers set out to create their own brand of cinema in a country that hasn't had it in decades. The rawness and authenticity, coupled with it being based on a real person makes for an exquisite 90 minutes of entertainment. In between the light romance and heavy family feuds are some deep lessons about self worth, forgiveness, acceptance and more. I highly recommend this film to anyone who can use some more cultural intelligence and nice evening of the feels.
