Stephon travel to go for the 1st time in search of aid workers he has betrayed 3 of them in his film congo calling what brought them here amid so much poverty even if they at least are protected in guarded how do they cope with the situation he met rove the spanish conducts research on behalf of Harvard University in 2 rebel groups that spread fear and terror in the region the locals call him the professor. Peter is from germany and works for an Aid Organization for 30 years and and nor is belgian she works in p. R. For a large Music Festival in the city she quit her job as an aid worker and stayed in goal for love. Drives with his employees to a rebel group. Really. You know sort. Of the thing to do in the past. More than 130 groups are active in the region they insist they want to advance the countrys development but they can be very brutal if you were to were getting a little and it was the. Women in poor. Me. You. Were out there is fired by idealism for faces daily disillusionment here hes betrayed by one of his closest associates can get your. Key. Voted out of the organisers from work every day off as a songwriter to take a look. At pictures of. The locals who definitely like peter sustain what we are. In standard of. The congo has become his home over the past 30 years now he has to return reluctantly to germany. The others struggle to every day with the question of whether they should stay. And whether their Development Aid helps or makes things worse and whether they have the strength to carry on. And the director of the film joins me now now stefan this was your 1st major feature and you chose to kish in one of the most difficult countries in the world why well it started with a friend of mine holland who is also in the film weve known each other for a long time and he started working there and doing his research then started telling me. About. How difficult it is for him to struggle with his own role. Of being in the position of power of bringing money from europe and. Kept telling me about this and i found it very fascinating of course ive been thinking about the question of Development Corporation and abstract ways before and ive been interested ive been interested in this but. I realized how in very concrete ways on the ground. How complex the situation might be and this is this why you made it about 3 different aid workers i mean it was quite a personal story of them all but what exactly then we were trying to achieve with this. We were. Very fascinated by really just following very concrete people and their lives over a very long time so its an observational documentary so we filmed for weeks over the course of 2 years we followed these people. We see how stories. Develop and i think this question of it is always discussed in a very abstract way. Of course extremely difficult to find abstract answers so thats why we thought its so important to look at what it really feels like in a very concrete yeah i mean the question is posed in the film that you said about the Development Aid from the west is it making things better or worse in the long term i know youre not an expert but you were there a lot you filmed 3 different whats your opinion having done that and you spent a lot of time in the country filming and i mean i met very many people. European western aid workers and the congolese people also who have a lot to do with the westerners and eastern congo is a very interesting place for this question because theres so many and you. The United Nations and so many white people driving around in their jeeps and. Is in the end. What we found is that maybe it is precisely through looking at very concrete personal stories that you realize why it is because it is so difficult and. Whats interesting in our 3 protagonists like many others on the ground there so selfish flex is theyre not at all white savior nor do they think they are they are. Very selfcritical about the impact they can have maybe also problems they may be causing so its extremely complex very briefly how did you protect yourself i mean its quite a dangerous country even the police can be quite interesting i mean we had the huge privilege that we were always with not only our protagonist but also the congolese colleagues and friends and we always with people were just a group of 2 people daniel the cameraman and me so weve always were not like standing in the in the street being a t. V. Crew but we were always with people who took us by their hands and guided and really helped us step good luck with the film its doing the round of festivals but youve got a Facebook Page congo called ing film that people can look to find out how they can get stuff on here but pat thank you very much thank you for the author ronald kurtz it was his experience as a doctor that prompted his 1st novel cold insane he wrote it in the early 19 eighties and soon afterwards gave up medicine to concentrate solely on his writing because his novel is a subject this week in 100 german must reads and he had an interesting way of promoting his book. Slicing your forehead open on live t. V. And telling the audience you can have my brain may sound a little and same yeah its also how high and guts became a star. And. Guts pulled that stunt in 1983 and what better way to advertise his book in same his 1st novel about a Mental Institution gets himself was a doctor at a Psychiatric Hospital it starts off in a blur of voices patients doctors dialogues case files whose even talking are they all insane god doesnt take sides and he certainly doesnt mystify mental illness. Art and revolt mean nothing to me is that clear absolutely nothing feel free to come with me to the clinic sometime if you want ill show you crazy then you can see for yourself the crazies are crazy period theyre not artists or revolutionaries theyre just insane theyre poor devils the insane the insane are the poorest devils i know. Eventually the young psychiatry doctor hospital merges the books central figure doctor hospital once a big career he also wants to help his patients to goes the dont really go together it turns out but this isnt a book about deficiencies in Mental Health care ok well it kind of is but mostly its about people struggles with themselves their yearning for a better life and about literature insane is intense and intoxicating and 35 years on its still edgy today.
