Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Shot on the dusty streets of Kinshasa, this gangsta thriller makes up in energy what it lacks in finesse. It concerns a small-time hoodlum, Riva (Patsha Bay), who earns himself a quick fortune on arriving at the fuel-starved city with a truckload of petrol.
On his trail are the Angolan employers from whom he stole, their intimidation tactics straight from the school of Joe Pesci. Meanwhile, Riva is also diddling the sexy girlfriend (Manie Malone) of a local gangster – how many enemies does this guy want to make? Writer-director Djo Munga brings Kinshasa to rumbustious life, and should he devote the same attention to character and dialogue he may be a talent to reckon with.
