"Broken Dream" provides an intimate look into Attanasio's life, an unconventional and idealistic diplomat passionate about Africa and his mission to bring aid to one of the world's richest yet most devastated regions. The documentary chronicles the emotional voyage of Zakia to RD Congo, for the first time, two years after the tragedy. Driven by the desire to understand her husband's motivations and honor his memory, Zakia embarks on a journey to the places Attanasio once traversed and meets people who shared significant parts of his life, adding fragments to the portrait of an extraordinary man. The film highlights the difficulty and significance of forgiveness, tackled by Zakia, who decides to attend the trial of those accused of the killings and later works to honor Luca's memory by continuing the humanitarian work they started together. We delve into the broader socio-political landscape of the Congo, shedding light on the ongoing conflicts, exploitation, and systemic injustices that plague the region. Through Zakia's intimate exploration, the film examines the resilience of the Congolese people in the face of adversity and the transformative power of compassion in healing collective wounds.
