The Democratic Republic of Congo could feed almost 1 in 2 people on Earth. Yet one in six Congolese people suffer from hunger. Yet one in two Congolese suffers from moderate acute malnutrition. Yet agriculture accounts for 70% of the population there. Faced with this paradox, the peasants regroup in agricultural cooperatives. A handful of them share their daily lives with us, that of all those they represent. Even if they don't know each other, live thousands of hundreds of kilometers from each other, participate in different agricultural sectors, their voices resonate in this powerful, sensitive and sincere documentary.

Un film di Andrea Sbarretti Nelle montagne della Valnerina la vita è concreta, dura, reale. Scandita dal ritmo delle stagioni e della terra. I pochi abitanti di queste frazioni, mantengono ancora quelle abitudini al sacrificio che ricordano il pesante lavoro quotidiano dei loro avi. Ci troviamo al Salto del Cieco, dove sorgeva la Dogana tra lo Stato Pontificio ed il Regno delle Due Sicilie. In queste vallate resiste un mondo contadino che trascende i ritmi metropolitani, fatti di vacuità ed egoismo. La loro bontà la avvertiamo nei dialoghi semplici ma sinceri, nei racconti rurali di un eremita che ha sistemato un vecchio rudere per viverci senza acqua nè corrente, nel candore di un uomo che ha dato una cuccia a molti cani senza padrone. Un padre ed un figlio che allevano mucche in alta montagna, un giovane che ha scelto la solitudine. Storie diverse, alle quali il non-luogo della montagna conferisce una umanità che si ridesta ogni giorno. In the mountains of the Valnerina, life is concrete, hard, real, based on the rhythm of the seasons and of the earth. The few inhabitants of these hamlets still maintain those habits of sacrifice that recall the heavy daily work of their ancestors. We are at the Salto del Cieco, where the Customs House stood between the Papal State and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. In these valleys there is a peasant world that transcends the metropolitan rhythms, made of emptiness and selfishness. We perceive their goodness in the simple but sincere dialogues, in the rural tales of a hermit who has arranged an old ruin to live there without water or electricity, in the candor of a man who has given a kennel to many dogs without a master. A father and a son who raise cows in the high mountains, a young man who has chosen solitude. Different stories, to which the non-place of the mountain confers a humanity that awakens every day.
