Goma Enough Is Enough
Synopsis
January 2025, Goma, capital of North-Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, falls to rebels. It took only four days for the M23 to defeat the Congolese army, the armies of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, South Africa, Burundi, mercenaries, and militias under the watchful eye of Monusco, the largest UN base. Goma Enough Is Enough bears witness to the incredible vitality of the Congolese people in the throes of the tragedy of an endless war.

Director’s statement
As a resident of Goma, the capital of North-Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, witness to historical injustice, I decided to pick up a camera to show the indignity imposed on an entire generation of Congolese people—my generation. I film my brothers-and sisters-in-arms—those who, like me, refuse to disappear into silence. Some of my friends have chosen to arm themselves to protect their families, others are involved in humanitarian work, and some, like slam poet Eliane Feza, composer Jérémie Skill2, and performer Francis Zihindula, are fighting in other ways through art, slam poetry, dance, and music.
