La Miséricorde de la jungle
The Mercy of the Jungle
Two soldiers lost in the deep jungle of Kivu, somewhere between Congo and Rwanda, in the middle of the Second Congo War. They were left behind by their army (they’re Rwandan) after an ambush and must rely on each other to survive in the wilderness. One of them is a veteran officer and a “war hero”, the other just a regular foot soldier, young and inexperienced. But when there’s no place to sleep and nothing to eat, those differences don’t matter anymore. In his second feature, Joel Karekezi sends these characters through a series of difficult and strange situations while they try to survive potential attacks from any one of the armies involved in the conflict and face the dangers of the unforgiving jungle. They slowly form a bond that will allow them to share the deepest and most traumatic experiences they have experienced and to take care of each other. A classic tale of an unexpected friendship, LA MISÉRICORDE DE LA JUNGLE finds humanity, compassion, and even beauty in the darkest of circumstances. (Diego Lerer)
