Summaries

'The world escapes me, I can't find my place but in my dreams, I'm it belongs to me', seem to say. Congolese media and their audiences in the choir. A socio- economic portrait of the 'Jet Set' Congoles through the League of Ambianceurs and people of elegance.—Anonymous

The Sapeur is a "Congolese Jet Setter". He may never go unnoticed and must, at all times, show off his general elegance and designer labels. Competition between Sapeurs is fierce. They love proclaim their superior elegance in televised jousts eagerly watched by the youth of Kinshasa. The Sapeurs embody success and access to the riches of the West. But how do you come across as wealthy when in fact you're living in poverty? For the Sapeurs it's all about their notoriety and the way they're seen back in Congo. "Ghetto Millionaires" throws us into a world of make-believe, where the dreams of a notoriety built up in Europe through artifice and sacrifice, come into conflict with the , so-often, disappointing and inevitably difficult return to Kinshasa...—Gilles Remiche
