Notice: extremly violent graphic content. OVER 18 ONLY!!!!

this video, based on a real story, was filmed on purpose to inform about the atrocities commited in Republic of Congo. It shows the atrocities of rape and murder happenning not in Africa, but transposed to our West world, to a middle class english family.

Here is the website. You can aso sign a petition.



The filmmakers explanation below.



Pass along, inform yoursel, and act along. Organisations such as Amnesty international are really involved. There is aso a campaing on the States department website.

That was powerful indeed, and a great message; I was expecting a far more graphic depiction based on the level of offense so many took. I suppose when one routinely sees graphic violence in reality, on a regular basis, this make believe doesn't really have the same effect. I actually found it rather tame.

We need to care. It's gone on long enough. Kabila needs to be replaced by a sane leader so that the DRC will live up to the motto of its nation.
