RISING UP AT NIGHT

by Nelson Makengo. 2024. 95 min.

Downstream from the overflowing Congo River, the people of Kinshasa have been flooded with water and swallowed in darkness. As the country prepares to build Africa’s largest hydroelectric plant, nearby neighborhoods have lost all power. Congolese director Nelson Makengo documents his hometown’s remarkable resilience and resourcefulness in a surreal nocturnal portrait that locates alternate sources of light.
