DRC - 2007/2008

I went to DRC several times since the 2006 elections. Here are a few of my favourites. Some of these pieces have natural sound, while others I have edited with voiceover.

Demobilized militia in Bunia are now successful fishermen thanks to a project of UNDP (with voiceover).




Artisanal gold miners in the village of Tindika can't dig much deeper. Industrial miners Kilo Gold are prospecting the area and say there is plenty of gold to justify moving in (with voiceover).




The Okapi is endemic to DRC, and the special animal serves as a Flagship for conservation of the World's second largest rainforest after the Amazon (with voiceover).




Known throughout Africa and the world for its ndombolo and soukous music, the DRC music scene showed different colours by hosting its first International Jazz Festival. Musicians from South Africa, the United States and Belgium traveled to Kinshasa to play with talented locals (natural sound only).
