After the screening we will host a Q&A with Furaha Muss, a community activist passionate about social justice, grassroots change and using creative means to promote peace. Pascal Mirndi, a 23 year old student and activist within Extinction Rebellion, University of Goma, and a member of the LUCHA, a Congolese citizens’ movement, will join the Q&A via video call.
