Synopsis
During the Belgian colonial empire, in Congo, Rwanda and Burundi, several thousand children of mixed race were victims of targeted segregation, which is still unknown today. Born to a Belgian father and an African mother, these children were hidden and isolated by the state, taken from their families and placed in boarding schools. On the eve of the conquest of independence by the 3 states, a legal kidnapping was organized: several hundred of the children were forcibly expatriated to Belgium and placed in foster families. The film tells the story of Evariste and Lena, Charles, François, Luc and Eveline. 60 years after the events, these witnesses revisit their past, following the search for their roots and their own identity, trying to close the wounds of childhood.
