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.
