Episode 3 - 'Enjoy Poverty'

'Episode 3' investigates the emotional and economic value of Africa's fastest growing and most lucrative export-product: filmed and photographed poverty. The film also shows that the poor delivering the raw material, benefit as little from it as from traditional exports as gold, rubber, cacao and petrol. During two years Renzo Martens undertakes an epic journey revealing the system and structures which inevitably keep Africa poor. Deep in the interiors of Congo he launches an emancipatory program that helps the poor to benefit from 'their' poverty.
