520    Can a Western filmmaker show anything of truth about the 
       Democratic Republic of Congo? Or do their 'good 
       intentions' only cause destruction and frustration? Three 
       young artists from Goma resist the one-sided reporting 
       that only reflect stereotypical images of war, violence, 
       illness, and poverty - all results of years of Western 
       domination. Journalist Ley Uwera, photographer Mugabo 
       Baritegera, and filmmaker Bernadette Vivuya struggle to 
       showcase their own experiences of life in Goma where the 
       typical portrait of a non-functioning government along 
       with a helpless population fit into the narrative driven 
       by the 250 Western NGOs that dominate the local economy. 
       Mugabo tries to show the beauty of life in the city while 
       Bernadette attempts to finance a film about her vision of 
       Goma's colonial past. Meanwhile, Ley works for a Western 
       NGO and is constantly caught in an ideological battle to 
       either work for the well-paid Western organization who 
       inserts their own slant on a story or to work as an unpaid
       freelance reporter with more freedom to air her own 
       opinions. The question then arises of whether a Western 
       filmmaker can capture anything approaching truth about 
       this complex country. Is the filmmaker part of the 'white 
       savior complex'? Director Joris Postema grapples with 
       these issues as he enters into open confrontations with 
       the three local artists in his own attempt to bring mutual
       assumptions to the surface. The prejudices provide a 
       deeper insight into the inequality of power that lies 
       under the mechanism of Western imaging.
