In the summer of 2000 Ugandan and Rwandan troops fought a devastating battle in Kisangani. The International Court of Justice sentenced Uganda to pay one billion U.S. dollars to the civilian victims. After almost twenty years of waiting in vain, some of them set out for Kinshasa to enforce their legal claim.

Austin Chronicle

Downstream to Kinshasa is a simple narrative, with a group of resilient survivors getting from point A to B, but its simplicity is impactful.

Rated: 4.5/5

San Jose Mercury News

Angry and powerful, an immersive experience on the aftermath of the Congo's 2000 Six Day War, which left 1,000 dead and 3,000 wounded.

Rated: 3/4

New York Times

The film sometimes flags in energy as it cuts between these different strands, but its pace feels faithful to just how halting the fight for justice can be when democracy becomes impenetrable to those it serves.

It's an uphill battle against ongoing great injustice, but the furious courage displayed is inspiring.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

That's the story. But what makes this film a work of cinema, which it certainly is? The answer is found in the cinematography, which is by the director and writer of the work, Hamadi. The real star of this film is black skin itself.
