San Jose Peace & Justice Center 48 S. 7th Street, San Jose (half block north of SJSU campus)

Gilbert Mulamba’s film, Kinshasa’s Street Children, docu­ments the street children phenomenon in the context of the cur­rent state of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The film pres­ents historical footage of foreign intervention and shows how the exploitation of Congo’s resources threatens the country’s social fabric.

A Q&A session follows, with attention to Silicon Valley’s con­nection to the crisis in the DRC. Makuba Sekombo of Mobil iza­tion for Justice and Peace in the D.R. of Congo will be on hand to answer questions about his homeland.
