"A Silent War: Stories of Human Suffering and Resilience in Congo" is a poignant documentary that sheds light on  the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), particularly in its eastern region. Through a compelling 28-minute narrative, the film delves into the lives of individuals who have been internally displaced due to persistent intercommunal militia attacks and military operations, unraveling the profound impact of the conflict on the Congolese people.

The documentary is set in the city of Goma, where countless individuals have been compelled to abandon their homes and livelihoods. Featuring firsthand accounts from internally displaced people (IDPs), it paints a vivid picture of the once-peaceful lives they led in their hometowns. The film navigates the intricacies of the conflict, implicating various entities, including the Congolese government, the Rwandan military, and armed rebel groups like the M23.
