Film Africa: Rising up at Night

Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo's capital city of 17 million people, is plunged into darkness and insecurity as its inhabitants struggle to access the light.

Between hope and religious faith, Rising up at Night is a subtle, fragmented portrait of a population that, despite the challenges, is reinventing itself in an environment marked by violence, coloured by the uncertainty of tomorrow and immersed in the beauty of Kinshasa’s nights.
