The Irresistible Rise of Moise Katumbi
Thierry Michel, 2013, 83 min.
French and Swahili w/ English subtitles
Wealthy Congolese businessman, Moïse Katumbi, is not
only governor of the African province of Katanga,
rich in precious minerals, but also president of the
area's famous soccer team, "TP Mazembe." Media,
sport, politics and business are all the ingredients
of the cocktail concocted by this new African messiah
named Moïse. He is the symbol of a new leadership
that gains power through ballot boxes and elections,
as well as being a symbol of a democracy based on
business and populism. A rival of Congo's President,
Joseph Kabila, will Moïse one day be elected the
country's leader?
