are fighting internal civil wars continuously in places like congo sure sure i mean it's like what do we find when we pull the curtains back who's who's you know playing with the the million that strings. you know it's it's tricky and i think overall when you have a government as corrupt as congo's is it's individuals that are behind it and whether it's you know we want to point a finger at the president which is newsy thing to do because he's holding on to power and and he got there by kind of questionable means. it's. again it's we have to we have to step back it's i think one of them pujas components of the continuing conflict in the congo is not being able to put our finger hey this is why this is why we can say the resources we can see the corrupt government in all the armed groups that the foreign interests international mining interests all these things these components that are that are in there that create this foggy mill once the fog is there this creates real opportunity for these types of nefarious actions to increase so there's no consequence if if if a million dollars is

kind of revealed a lot of holes in the narrative that were often told about the congo so that's kind of the genesis of the project begin there and it was about identifying the root causes of the conflict i'm really trying to find a good narrative thread that could flush them out and the female character. the congo is seen around the world it's like a place with lots of sexual violence against women think of the high of one of conflicts it was nearly fifty breaks a day and she chose a very strong she's actually built her own business she's providing for children why did you start to how did you find with all the characters you know i wanted to challenge. the views were typically given on the outs. about congo and i want to characters that i feel the viewers could identify with in mom romance is case she's she's out there fighting for the survival of her children and trying to educate them which i think is extremely universe and we can all relate with that so that's kind of what drew me into her you know often we think of a smuggler in congo thinking of some big bad nefarious guy but b
