Roots of Fire

Three generations of a Congolese family are bound together by a sacred forest — and the mining company determined to destroy it.

About This Film

In the hills of eastern Congo, the Kabuya family has tended the same patch of ancient forest for three generations. When a Belgian mining company secures government rights to the land, grandmother Joséphine, her son Daniel, and his teenage daughter Amani each face the dispossession differently — one through memory, one through law, and one through fire. A sweeping family epic about land, identity, and the cost of resistance.
