Congo River, beyond darkness is a 2005 film by Thierry Michel examining the Congo River in Africa.

Synopsis

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.

In 2008, Paul Kagame, as President of Rwanda, had released the findings from an investigation into the massacre which had occurred there in 1994, when fighting began in the Eastern Congo at Rwanda's western border. The influence of French military interference in Rwanda plus the Belgian occupation are explained, in relation to the long-time feud between the Hutus and Tutsis, Rwanda's two main ethnic groups. Meanwhile, survivor Jean-Pierre Sagahutu, whose family had died during the violence, seeks to track down the man who had murdered them. Sagahutu eventually finds the culprit and decides what to do next.
