In the heart of the Congo rainforest, the remains of a research center dedicated to tropical agriculture reveal the burden of the colonial past and its inextricable links to climate change. This three-part essay (winner of the IFFR 2025 Tiger Special Jury Award) offers a compelling analysis of Belgian colonial history, the consequences of which can still be observed today.
