Congo Lucha wins the 2019 OMCT Prize at the Geneva International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights (FIFDH)



Congo Lucha,
a deeply moving documentary on a group of young people promoting democracy and human rights in the Democratic Republic of Congo, received the 2019 OMCT prize at the Geneva International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights (FIFDH). When handing the award to its director, Marlène Rabaud, Gerald Staberock, OMCT Secretary General, said: “The Festival debated about the new threats facing human rights and asked whether we were regressing. Marlène Rabaud’s answer is loud and clear: hope is alive, even in the DRC, even in the Kivus, even in those situations considered as desperate, where torture and impunity have become the norm. This film is a tribute to the movements of young human rights defenders, not only in the DRC, but throughout the world. It shows that things can change, that all of us can take risks, and be actors and this fight.”
