Merchants of Miracles is a journey to the heart of Kinshasa to discover the "churches of healing", also called the "churches of awakening".
Their promises of healing incurable diseases, of obtaining a visa for the European eldorado or even of immediate prosperitry attract the majority of Congolese to these churches. In this unbelievable world, the violence of the worship services reflects that our misery and the tragic-comical language of tele-evangelists, with their cynism, megalomania and surrealism, responds to the hopeless naivety of the faithful.
