Enough is Enough

Elisé Sawasawa / France & Democratic Republic of Congo / 2026 / 65 min

In January 2025, Goma, the capital of North Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo, falls. It takes just four days for the M23 rebel movement to defeat the Congolese army and regional forces sent from neighboring countries—under the supervision of the UN’s largest peacekeeping mission, MONUSCO. For the international community, it is yet another conflict on the fringes of the news cycle. For the people of Goma, it is the culmination of more than 30 years of war.

‘Enough Is Enough’ is told from the inside by filmmaker Elisé Sawasawa, who was born and raised in the war-torn area. With his camera as a witness, he follows everyday life in a city on the brink of collapse. Some take up arms, others choose humanitarian work, poetry, dance, and music as their way of fighting. With rare access, the film documents a historical injustice that the world has long turned a blind eye to. Thirty years of war have driven millions to flee and cost even more lives. ‘Enough Is Enough’ insists that we watch and familiarize ourselves with a conflict on the African continent that is also driven by global economic interests.
