    Absolute gem of a documentary. As a French, I have to say that the Italian chef, speaking perfect french with a thick italian accent and congolese intonation was one the WILDEST things I ever heared in my entire life. People are amazing !

      To me as a Congolese chef I truly enjoyed this documentary. The Italian chef is emblematic of how our cultures are globalizing...Italian speaking french with a Congolese intonation blending congolese products into Italian cuisine. He is in Goma where most westerner would rather not be but yet he is thriving and changing the narrative!

    The Africa you will never see on Western TV. Thank you Giles for your wonderful work. The DRC is an amazing place indeed with resilient people destined for greatness. I pray that the time will soon come when they will be able to benefit from their minerals and all the other resources that are abundant in this massive country!

    What a wonderful documentary. The Chef is such a kind man who has a real gift at lifting the spirits of beautiful people who have lived through trauma. His love of people through their food is so warm and genuine. If everyone had such a spirit of adventure and appreciation for life, the world would be so much better.

    I love Congolese people and culture, they are so eccentric!
    Also, let's no overlook the guy sharing his story of how he got disfigured in the Congo war, I have family members that survived war and the effects are horrible. I'm pro rehabilitation for war victims in the most holistic way possible ✊🏿.
