"From the true story of a villager and his family, the documentary 'Makala' portrays the harsh reality of the inhabitants of the interior of Congo, in Africa. It is one of those stories that make us realize how small our problems are, the immensity of the world, and that for some, there is no access to what we consider basic needs. Still, there is a beauty in this story of overcoming, something that slowly involves us as we watch - besides having been beautifully registered by the director Emmanuel Gras's lens."
