Amuka – The Awakening

Spoken: Swahili/French. Subtitles: English.

DR Congo could feed almost one in two people on Earth. Yet one in six Congolese people suffers from hunger, and one in two Congolese from moderate acute malnutrition. Though 70% of the population works in agriculture. Faced with this paradox, the peasants regroup in agricultural cooperatives. A handful of them shares their daily lives with us. Even if they don't know each other, live many thousands of kilometres from each other and participate in different agricultural sectors, their voices resonate in this powerful, sensitive, and sincere documentary.
