Why Dreams Die In Africa | Congo Documentary

I was supposed to be at the World Cup, filming a documentary about DR Congo’s national team. Instead, the project fell apart because of the very things so many of us in Africa face daily: greed, broken systems, and travel barriers.💔 But rather than packing it in, I decided to turn the camera on the setback itself as I always try to do. This documentary is about what happens when your ambition hits a wall, and why you have to keep going anyway. If you’ve ever had a dream sidelined by circumstances out of your control, or if you just love a good behind-the-scenes football story, I think you’ll relate to this.
