ABOUT “A Silent War”
Runtime: 28 minutes
By: VOA Africa
“A Silent War: Stories of Human Suffering and Resilience in Congo" is a poignant documentary that sheds light on the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), particularly in its eastern region. Through a compelling 28-minute narrative, the film delves into the lives of individuals who have been internally displaced due to persistent intercommunal militia attacks and military operations, unraveling the profound impact of the conflict on the Congolese people.
