Marrakech International Film Festival – Rising Up At Night (Tongo Saa)

Kinshasa and its inhabitants are in darkness. They wait and struggle for access to light. Positioned between hope, disappointment, and religious faith, Rising Up at Night is a subtle and fragmented portrait of a population that, despite the challenges it faces, is sublimated by the beauty of Kinshasa’s nights.
