The Forgotten Man
Osvalde Lewat-Hallade, Cameroon, 2004; 58m. In French.

Sentenced to prison for three years for a minor offense, Léppé was optimistic he would be released early for good behavior. 33 years later, Léppé is still rotting away in prison, his prestigious family having long ago given up trying secure his release. This moving documentary asks what remains of this man who entered prison at the age of 25 and has spent more than half his life incarcerated. What has given this prisoner the strength not to commit suicide, unlike so many others around him?

A Love During the War
Osvalde Lewat-Hallade, Congo/Cameroon, 2005; 63m. In Swahili, Lingala and French.

Aziza and her husband were separated when the Congo-Kinshasa war broke out in 1996. Six years later, they reunite in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire). They are now rebuilding their family life with their four children. However, the souvenirs of the horrors suffered by other women in eastern DRC during the war continue to haunt Aziza’s world. This moving documentary explores the consequences of rape, used as a weapon of war, from the perspective of women in Africa, where this tragedy is witnessed again and again. Mention spéciale du jury, Vues d’Afrique and FESPACO 2005.
