The 2019 feature documentary about the deficiency of electricity in the villages of the Congo. The symbolic power and dangers at night. The light is religiously and physically transferred through power and seers. In the street politically and naturally. Inspiring hope in children of Kinshasa, Congo appears with bright lights and playfully suited in a Santa Claus costume. Believers pray to God, given the message by the priest to not give up. Death is only a dream because of such terrible conditions. We are guided by light, into the flooded streets by a romantic notion of a dirty Venetian paradise.
A feature film by Nelson Makengo
