Documentaire très important et très intelligemment construit sur le témoignage de 5 femmes congolaises qui portent plainte contre l’état belge pour crime contre l’humanité. Le dessin animé, qui se glisse tout au long du documentaire, apporte paradoxalement une certaine douceur tout en recréant les horreurs vécues par ces femmes, qui n’étaient que des enfants à l’époque.
Ça donne envie moins envie de lire Tintin au Congo LOL un super doc sur la politique ségrégationniste belge, pas marrant mais important et très beau (comme toutes les petites mamies du doc)
Five Congolese women kidnapped as children during the colonial era testify about their traumatic past and file a lawsuit against the Belgian state for crimes against humanity.
