Synopsis
In Kinshasa, churches known as "churches of healing" or "churches of awakening" draw large congregations with promises of miraculous cures, visas to Europe, and instant wealth. The documentary captures the fervent worship services, where the intensity often mirrors the struggles of daily life. It presents the language of televangelists, marked by cynicism and surrealism, as they engage with the hopeful yet desperate faithful seeking solace and solutions in their teachings.
