John Prendergast, Fidel Bafelimba, & Ryan Gosling, "Congo Stories", (w/ Chouchou Namegabe)

John Prendergast and Fidel Bafelimba discuss their book, "Congo Stories", with Ryan Gosling and Chouchou Namegabe at a Politics and Prose event at George Washington University on 12/13/18.

In Congo Stories, John Prendergast and Fidel Bafilemba reveal how the people of Congo are fighting back against a tidal wave of international exploitation and governmental oppression to make things better for their nation, their communities, and their families. The book contains stunning photographs taken by actor Ryan Gosling, Bafilemba's profiles of heroic Congolese activists, and Prendergast's narratives of the extraordinary history and evolving social movements that directly link the Congo with the United States and Europe. Congo Stories provides windows into the history, the people, the challenges, the possibilities, and the movements that could change the course of Congo's destiny.
