Zaire, January 1993. Rachel's family, an 8-year-old French girl, lives in Kinshasa in a house overlooking the Congo River. A sensual and intimate film about memory, writing and forgetting.
About the pairing:
Taking place a few years before events which set Downstream to Kinshasa in motion but still part of the same chain, Hibiscus Season presents the honest if hazy account of a family whose experience of war in Kinshasa greatly differs from those who seek justice in the feature presentation.
