Black Water

Poignant meditation on survival and resilience unfolds deep within the remote forest of the Congo Basin. This short film explores the lives of a local community around Lake Mai Ndombe (Lake of 'Black Water') in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This once bountiful lake now teeters on the brink of collapse. Over the years, the lake's vibrant fish population has dwindled, threatening the livelihoods of those who have depended on its resources for generations.
