To celebrate the international day of “Francophonie” (francophone countries), the High Commission of Canada and the Alliance Française de Pretoria are delighted to present you with the screening of Congorama, a film by Philippe Falardeau, produced by Canada, Belgium and France in 2006. It was awarded many prizes, including the prestigious “Jura” award. Michel, son of a paralyzed writer, husband to a Congolese refugee and father of a future tennis champion, is an erratic Belgian inventor misunderstood by his employer. At age 41, he learns he was adopted and was in fact birthed secretly in a Quebec barn, in Sainte-Cecile. In the summer of the year 2000, Michel goes to Sainte-Cecile, a sleepy village that soon makes him want to run back home. There, he meets a man who drives an anachronistic hybrid car. On their way back to Montreal, an accident will change their life forever, as well as the very future of the automotive industry. Welcome to Congorama !...
