UK and Republic of the Congo / 2013 / 25mins / Documentary / English and French

The Dream explores beauty in unlikely places – by asking women to pose in the same white wedding dress in locations from rubbish dumps to crowded trains. We see how photographer, Baudouin Mouanda juxtaposes different worlds to create strikingly beautiful pictures and the obstacles facing photographers in the Congo.
