THE SUN KEEPS RISING

Wilfrid
Congolese's president, Denis Sassou Nguesso, paid tribute to Savorgnan de Brazza.Sacrilege and sceptical, Congo decides to honour a pioneer, a sourdough, Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, the one who brought Central Africa to the French sphere.
The legend says that he founded Brazzaville in 1880. Therefore, in order to celebrate the centenary of his death, the Congolese authorities built a 15 million-euro mausoleum, co-financed by France and Gabon. A gigantic monument made of marble. Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza will be re-buried with his family on the shores of river Congo.
To this political foolishness is added the State' sacrilege.
During this time, life goes on with an assortment of happiness and cruelty.

    • agree with others - beautiful footage, well put together, but just not too sure what's going on. but definite GL, because there's clearly something really good here it just needs to be worked on closely to be brought out

      --------------------------------
      i'm not a big fan of the constant self-promotion side of current, but it seems like it's the only way to get your work noticed, so...
      if you have time, please check out my 2 pods and if you like them, GL on the UK site.
      - Play in a Day: link
      - Lapstock: (check my profile, should be cleared soon)
      play in a day is currently UK number 4, and i'm hoping to do even better with Lapstock, so if you like them and can help me out, let me know if you ever need my vote on the US site in return
      cheers,
      Adam

    • I agree with rawbird, it's hard figuring out the main point of your pod =[
      Re-edit, to explain what your introducing, remember we know nothing about the topic, just assume that lol.

    • You have fantastic footage in both of your recent pods, shot in under-represented places, on obscurely political issues, but frankly, I don't know what either of your pods are about. You certainly have the footage to say something profound, and it is clear you have the desire, but it just isn't quite getting through, at least to me--despite my legitimate desire to be informed by your gorgeous footage and delicate edits. I'll GL to encourage you to re-edit, narrate, and make them more cohesive and comprehensible.
