Historic Fresco on the « Belgian Congolese » region, one of the richest regions in Africa. This document stands out by its original mix of archives and cartoons.
« Kongo » offers in three parts, a second reading without concessions of the past for a better understanding of the present.
Starting from the Portuguese occupation at the XVI century to the sovereignty of Leopold II at the XIX century, to the slave & rubber plant trades, the first episode engrosses us in this bloody conquest described by living witnesses, Portuguese, French, Belgian & African pioneers.
