Outlook

Available for over a year

Simon guards a railway station with no trains. Henriette works in a post office that gets no mail. A lieutenant runs a fire station that has no water. These public sector workers all live in Kinshasa, DRC - and the absurdity of their situations are explored in the documentary Elephant's Dream by Belgian director Kristof Bilsen. Listen to why he wanted to tell their stories. Photo credit: Associate Directors
