The Peacekeepers

This documentary provides an intimate and dramatic portrait of the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping. With unprecedented access, it details the ongoing struggle to prevent another humanitarian disaster similar to Rwanda, this time in the DRC.

The film juxtaposes scenes from the UN headquarters in New York with the realities on the ground in Congo. Viewers witness the urgent maneuvers of peacekeepers in the "Crisis Room," where decisions are made that weigh the risks of loss of life against financial uncertainties from donor countries.

As the situation in northeast Congo escalates, the stakes grow higher, affecting not only the future of the DRC but potentially central Africa as a whole. The film also touches on broader themes such as global terrorism and American influence in world affairs, providing context to the challenges faced by peacekeepers in a complex geopolitical landscape.
