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. Many people see this conflict as one of globalisation’s crucial economic distribution battles because the country has major deposits of high-tech raw materials. The director gathers victims, perpetrators, observers and analysts for a unique civil tribunal and creates a detailed and unvarnished portrait of the largest and bloodiest economic war in human history.

Slovene audience had the opportunity to meet the director Milo Rau on numerous occasions at the International festival Mladi levi. In Ljubljana he presented the performance Hate Radio, which speaks about the massacre over the Tutsi population, he presented also the documentary film Moscow Trials about a re-enactment of the three censored court processes (among them Pussy Riot), and last year we presented Milo Rau’s performance 5 Easy Pieces, which reconstructs the life of the notorious belgian pedofile Marc Dutroux.
