Director Statement

"I spent a lot of time and money and energy to evolve from an idea to a 1h23 film about Women leadership. Not only me but all my team. I believe in Congolese women that many of them can lead my country and perform not just in a different manner but even better than men did since day one of our indepedance 62-years trip. This documentary celebrates DR Congolese Women.

They need more: education, independance, freedom,... and of course engagement. A more prepared lady with an organized campain team is arguably to get thousands supporters in any small city or village around the country. Somehow, that is the morals from this film as well. Because the former female President candidates in the movie admitted they missed some means compared to those who ended up winning elections."
