Congo Boy

Synopsis

Bangui, Central African Republic. 17 year-old Robert dreams of a career in music, but, as a refugee from the Congo, he’s different from the other kids, all the more so when both his parents are thrown into prison, as a civil war is tearing the country apart. He is left to look after his four younger siblings on his own, juggling daily life, odd jobs, school exams and concert stages, determined to follow his dream.
