Basilica Hudson presents…
THIS IS CONGO: Photography Exhibit and a sneak peak preview of the documentary film SHORTCUT TO HEAVEN with director and photographer Daniel McCabe and crew + Special Guest Filmmaker and Field Producer Horeb Bulambo.

Photography Exhibit will feature images touching on Congo, its people, its conflict and its beauty. Shot on location during the production of the film SHORTCUT TO HEAVEN, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) by photographer filmmakers Daniel and Michael McCabe.

SHORTCUT TO HEAVEN is a feature length documentary that explores the ongoing fight for the Democratic Republic of Congo’s vast mineral wealth and natural resources. Battles are waged daily by those who will kill to plunder the country’s rare metals and other natural bounty, which ends up in the hands of western end users. Eastern Congo is an area where an estimated 1,500 people die each day as victims of war, where rape and child combatants have reached epidemic proportions. SHORTCUT TO HEAVEN will document one of the underlying stories of violent conflict in the Congo, it’s resource wars. Showing the direct link between the continued violence in eastern Congo and the consumer products that are manufactured today. From raw materials to war, it will provide a look into the human costs of an unregulated international market for Congo’s valuable natural resources. It will also testify to the need for finding a realistic and enduring solution to over a decade of violent conflict.

PREJUDICE is a short film that explores the racial tension between a white husband and his African wife. Shot on location in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo, with local talent.
