You think you know how the people live in Congo? A realistic movie about the kids of Kinsaha who live in poverty and still have hope about their future.

If "Private Ryan" opened our eyes for the first time about the reality of the Normandy landings during WW II, never before in a movie had been described with such realism the misery of the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo, whose inhabitants live not much better than those of Haiti, remember those images after the earthquake and the unpaid promised help of the world, while in Congo the underground is full of high value raw minerals. These Kinshasa Kids live in poverty but remain confident in their future and continue to dream. They dream to become singers and make a living of it. You had a good time watching the movie. Return something to those who made this movie necessary. Is it a sad movie? Not at all this movie is a lesson to enjoy life and to open your heart and your wallet and give something to people who deserve a better life. Knowing the situation in Congo it took some courage to turn it in the real location. Thank you Mister Wajnberg.
