Wonder Afrika
Wonder Africa was commissioned by Union Minière du Haut Katanga, Forminière, and BCK to mark their 50th anniversary. The film highlights the transformation of Katanga and Kasai under the influence of the mining industry. Through the idyllic and somewhat naïve romance of two locals, audiences are taken on a tour of the mining hub, showcasing its workshops, schools, hospitals, sports grounds, and more, all framed in a celebratory and almost storybook-like vision of progress. The documentary was released in Dutch and French.
