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.

Africans telling their own story without the purse-strings of Hollywood

I have been immersed in Africa for the past 4 years with multiple visits to my native friends there. This film was beautiful and refreshing for me to watch. It is completely from the perspective of a native Congolese man and his friends and family. This is not Hollywood's view/version of the DR-Congo. Also, this film employed the talents of the locals, completely new to the industry. This team did incredibly well for a first time full-length feature film.

Side note: I gave it 9/10 stars because I felt the soundtrack could have used a little more depth. I am a professionally trained musician so I naturally listen for the soundtrack. There were some parts that could have used more musical support. Though if staying true to the story of the DR-Congo, then not having typical western orchestral accompaniment is a no-brainer. However, this also limits the ability to give the usual musical support in certain scenes. Interesting dilemma to navigate.

Though as mentioned before, really a monumental first-time film for a DR-Congo team. Beautifully told and depicted. Definitely a must-see independent film.
