Salaam, Amani, Peace: Festivals in Goma, DR Congo
Published 9 years, 1 month ago
Description
In a context of ongoing violence and N.G.O. intervention in Eastern Congo, a festival culture is emerging based on the concept of “peace-building” through the arts. With the guidance of professor Chérie Ndaliko and local artists, we explore the ways in which these festivals can negatively or positively affect the local arts community. (Note: Salaam Kivu International Film Festival is now Congo International Film Festival.)
Produced and hosted by Morgan Greenstreet.
