Why watch this film?
One of Africa's most important documentarians, Dieudo Hamadi, has dedicated himself to telling stories of his people that need to resonate in other countries, cultures, peoples, and organizations. In 'En route pour le milliard', the filmmaker continues on his journey to amplify the stories of the Congo. Here, he follows a group of residents who decide to travel to the city of Kinshasa to demand their rights. The reason? They were mutilated, violated, and injured during a war in 2000 and have since received no form of compensation or restitution. Thus, mixing documentary with theatrical scenes, Hamadi invites the viewer to embark on this emotional and sad journey, but which ultimately shows simple yet powerful stories of people who fight every day to stay alive in a system that continuously oppresses them. And the final scene... Ah, the ending of the film is heart-wrenching to see the hope in the eyes of these people who still have so much to fight for.

Kinshasa Makambo
"Kinshasa Makambo" is a film by Congolese director Dieudo Hamadi about three young activists and their different ways of trying to bring democracy to a country that has never witnessed a peaceful transition of power. The documentary emanates a political power that shines through the screen with Hamadi's brilliant command. With a mix of idealism and pragmatism, it brings a precise look at people who go after their ideas regardless of the governmental situation they are in. Resistance is the people's greatest and best weapon. Without a doubt, a production that makes us reflect on the Republic of Congo and also on Brazil.

Life Is Not a Competition, But I'm Winning
Life is not a Competition, but I'm Winning is a sports documentary that challenges one of the most debated—and controversial—issues in professional sports in recent years: the rigidity of gender-based competitive divisions—male and female—with the resultant exclusion of transgender athletes. With a visual style that goes beyond typical sports documentaries, this production challenges these classifications while celebrating the triumphs of transgender women who have been denied the opportunity to compete and represent their disciplines—and even their nations—on the podium.

Skywalkers: A Love Story
Skywalkers: A Love Story is a documentary presented at the Sundance Festival 2024 that, from its theme and subjects, might already seem controversial: it follows a couple dedicated to rooftopping, the activity of clandestinely scaling skyscrapers and other tall structures, and documenting it. The documentary explores their trajectories, motivations, and romantic relationship, as they prepare for the most risky—and important—climb of their lives. Filled with spectacular and even terrifying images, with editing that keeps the viewer engaged, Skywalkers will fascinate the curious, even if, as such, its reflections on love never reach the same heights.
