Floribert Chebeya was a human rights activist who had survived Mobutu Sese Seko's dictatorship and the subsequent civil war. On 2 June 2010, his body was found in a car near the capital, Kinshasa. The police quickly painted a scenario that made Chebeya the routine victim of a crime with sexual connotations. However, this version of the events broke down after an investigation in which the police were implicated. The government agreed to bring some of the highest police officials to justice in a military court, handing out stiff sentences to those found guilty and awarding compensation to the victims.

Prix Sakharov 2014, le Docteur Mukwege est internationalement connu comme l’homme qui répare ces milliers de femmes violées durant 20 ans de conflits à l’Est de la République Démocratique du Congo, un pays parmi les plus pauvres de la planète, mais au sous-sol extrêmement riche. Sa lutte incessante pour mettre fin à ces atrocités et dénoncer l’impunité dont jouissent les coupables, dérange. Fin 2012, le Docteur est l’objet d'une nouvelle tentative d’assassinat, à laquelle il échappe miraculeusement. Menacé de mort, ce médecin au destin exceptionnel vit dorénavant cloîtré dans son hôpital de Bukavu, sous la protection des Casques bleus des Nations unies. Mais il n’est plus seul à lutter. A ses côtés, ces femmes auxquelles il a rendu leur intégrité physique et leur dignité, devenues grâce à lui de véritables activistes de la paix, assoiffées de justice.

The film takes us from the mouth to the source of the second largest river basin in the world, that of the Congo River (the largest is the Amazon). All along its 4371 km, we discover places that have seen the turbulent history of this country, while archives remind us of the mythological figures that created its destiny: explorers such as Livingstone and Stanley, the colonial kings Léopold II and Baudouin I and leaders such as Lumumba, Mobutu and Kabila.

The new Guillemins station in Liège was a huge project undertaken by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, who had already directed construction of stations in Zurich, Lisbon and Lyon. The site presented many challenges. The film follows the project from start to end over a nine-year period. It documents the issues, frictions and tension of the project as well as the pride and enthusiasm of the people involved. The result was a modern cathedral of European high-speed rail. The project was controversial, being criticized as being too grandiose, too expensive to maintain and not well-adapted to the Belgian climate. In the process many old buildings were destroyed and the whole neighborhood was disrupted.

In a little village, lost at the bottom of a valley in the midst of mountains and deprived of sun for long months, an old man Anzerul (Charles Vanel), prophet and magician, announces the end of the world. According to his calculations the sun will not return to the village and the village will descend into an endless winter. The villagers give way, one after the other, to panic, piling up wood or giving themselves up to drink. Only Isabelle Antide (Catherine Mouchet), holds up against the hysteria. She urges them not to give in to terror, and to struggle against a damaging fatalism. On the 13 April, the day the sun returns to the village each year, she leads them above the cover of fog which hangs over their valley.
