An ’afro­naut’ emerges from the wreck­age of a space­ship in the vol­canic crater of Mount Nyi­ragon­go. As he descends into the city below, encoun­ter­ing the people of present-day Goma, he begins to under­stand what he must do to change the future for his people. 

This film will be screened simul­ta­ne­ous­ly at Unseen as part of our #Junction_Nairobi, fol­lowed by a shared discussion.

Maisha Maene is a Con­golese screen­writer and direc­tor based in Goma, Demo­c­ra­t­ic Repub­lic of the Congo. As an Afro­fu­tur­ist artist, he works on issues of human rights and the envi­ron­ment and seeks to recon­struct the frag­ment­ed his­to­ry of his coun­try.
