i wanted to see the congo. for my sins, they let me. in "heart of darkness" joseph conrad writes of his alter ego -- when i was a little chap, i had a passion for maps. at that time there were many blank spaces on earth. but there was one yet, the biggest, the most blank, that i had a hankering after. this then is the congo. the size of all western europe combined. it should be africa's wealthiest nation. the people forget, or never even knew, that the 20th century's first holocaust happened here when belgium's king leopold managed to bamboozle giving him personal title to the congo. leopold's agents of whom the mythical kurtz was one, raided, slaughtered, mutilated and pressed into forced labor much of the population, in a bloodthirsty quest for first ivory and then rubber. when independence finally came, the belgians trashed what they could, and left behind a completely unprepared tribally divided and largely ungovernable land mass, filled with stuff that everybody in the world wanted. and things pretty much went downhill from there.

from the rest of the congo and the world. stanleyville, known in "heart of darkness" as the inner station. the congo river stretches across the country's middle. conrad describes it as a twisting snake with its head in the atlantic ocean and its tail buried deep in africa's heart. to europeans, it was a natural route to transport slaves, ivory, rubber, minerals. the commodities upon which modern-day brussels and antwerp are built. for the congolese, both before and after the belgians, it provided more basic things. water to wash, to clean your clothes in, to cook with, to drink. also fishing. since long before the expeditions of dr. livingston and henry morton stanley, the wageni tribe has been fishing the river in unique fashion. highly coordinated and acrobatic, the wageni dived into the treacherous rapids in what is still referred to as stanleyville falls. perched on a precarious network of wooden poles, they hoist together. the catch these days -- not much. >> so it is the second biggest force in the congo river. >> he wa

in 1996, uganda and rwanda invaded congo. seven more countries joined in and started stealing congo's resources. the invasion ended, but ever since, rebel militias and government forces have fought over local power, ethnic hatred, and control of the minerals. we heard it firsthand from former rebel soldiers. this a school that teaches guerilla fighters who've laid down their guns how to be civilians again. >> [speaking in foreign language] >> this former major told us that when his troops controlled a territory, he demanded gold from every miner every day. >> male translator: we collected gold, and then we went to buy medicines. we went to buy ammunition. we went to buy guns. >> who sold you the ammunition and the guns? >> we would buy those things from congolese army soldiers. >> he's saying that government troops sold weapons to him, the enemy. congo is so destitute that even its army goes without pay and becomes just another predator among the villages. john prendergast worked on africa policy in president clinton's white

a man in the congo for a critical period. here is a table that he wrote to him at the particularly difficult point. it is a cable -- as it regards political situations, one major difficulty is that we can never get inside the skin of our congo friends or dis entangle outside maneuver for that reason. the action on anything but rather general concept as to interplay of forces to extend we find our analysis. believe on the whole we will get safer result with the skeptical approach, believe also that this may save us from danger of getting tied up in congo-type intrigues, which grow like mushrooms and die like mushrooms. and mostly, like mushrooms are rather poison. that's the unedited. but it's framed in this with a lot of personal bite and irony. i knew when i came here that i had enough material for a day-long seminar.

i think it has to do with what anwar congo is trying to do this film. somehow he is trying to deal with hisown pain, deal nightmares. he finds a form in the film to express pain that the regime has no time for. the regime wanted to say, it is great. once you can live with himself, killers can live with themselves. suddenly, he has a chance to deal with the ghost that haunts him. in the first clip, he dances on the roof. we cut or he starts dancing the cha cha cha. but if you watch them dance, most viewers will feel appalled. how can a man dance where he is killed 1000 people? just before he dances, he says he is tricking, taking drugs, going out dancing to forget what he has done. somehow his pain, his conscience was there from the beginning. i think it is his effort to run away from the meaning of what he has done that leads them to propose evermore confiscated dramatizations. listen too doesn't the warning because somehow he is trying to deal with his pain. he is not trying to look like a hero, not trying to simply revisit or restate the official hist
