The upcoming election 2017 may determine the future of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. After 15 years in power, president Kabila is no longer allowed to compete for election. However, the regime and the kleptocratic elite want to avoid the loss of power at all costs. This film documents the political situation prior to the elections and shows the ambivalent connections of government, UNO, development aid, mineral deposits and civil war.

For over a decade, only a view filmmakers dared to do such a comprehensive documentation about this country. Pictures of the local living situation are rar,e since the country is one of the most isolated and chaotic countries in the world. Writer and Director Dietmar Klumpp was investigating for this project over two years - six months of it in the Congo - and has won for his efforts the Bavarian TV Award 2016.
