Downstream to Kinshasa is a simple narrative, with a group of resilient survivors getting from point A to B, but its simplicity is impactful. It is clear and concise about its purpose, and by the end his subjects’ desires are explicit. Read full review

A work that is uneven in form but arresting in content and especially vital as a commentary on contemporary African society, human rights and disability issues. Read full review
