Children of Congo: From War to Witches (trailer)

http://www.danballuff.com

Over five million people have died during the past decade as a result of the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Few people are aware of the unimaginable scale of human suffering, death, and destruction that has occurred in this vast country deep in the heart of Africa. In the aftermath of this brutal war, children have endured the brunt of the suffering. This 67 minute film documents the plight of thousands of street children living in Kinshasa and confirms the wide-spread accusations of child witchcraft, torture and child prostitution. The film also examines the efforts to reintegrate demobilized child soldiers, displaced refugees, and orphaned children following the eruption of the massive Nyiragongo volcano, near the city of Goma in Eastern Congo. These heroic efforts are finally bringing some measure of hope and stability to the lives of the Congolese people.
Dan Balluff's "Children of Congo: From War to Witches" is a must see film, showing individuals and organizations that are implementing positive change for the children and the people of the Democtatic Republic of Congo. (Pan African Arts Culture Film Festival, Oct. 2008).

@RwKhuti: Care to explain why Italy or Spain are developed nations and mostly Catholic? Soviet Union was basically a giant prison camp with tens of millions murdered by the state, all in the name of "rational thought" and secular humanism. Your post = FAIL!

until you've had to rescue a dying rape victim out of the sea, begging you to grant them a second chance at life, most people won't understand the severity of the situation. those silent and unspoken voices obviously don't have political power and outsiders will sympathize but go back to regularly sceduled programing. These can be unfortunate times

@RwKhuti make that "pretty much any religion"
