KATANGA BUSINESS

US PREMIERE

It’s been said that Africa is the richest continent on Earth. Nevertheless, the images of poverty stricken Africa are very popular in mainstream news. Focusing on the diamond rich Katanga region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Thierry Michel builds a documentary that introduces the general public to the economic development of this region as we see the charismatic Congolese governor in charge dealing with the entreupreuneurs from Europe and China and with his own national government while fighting for a better life for Congolese workers. This thriller like documentary offers a revealing look at the impact of globalization on Africa through the portrait of a man in a quest for economic independence in a region in turmoil. By Thierry Michel, Belgium/ Congo, 2009, 120mins, documentary in French and Lingala with English subtitles.
