What it’s about. The war in Congo has caused more than six million deaths over the last twenty years. The population is suffering, but the offenders stay with impunity.

The documentary film brings these spectacular court trials to life on the big screen and creates an unvarnished portrait of the largest and bloodiest economic wars in human history.
