Los chicos del río de la Felicidad

Blanchard, Chagui, John, Mambueni and Chance live on Prince Street, the main road crossing through the small town of Inkisi, only 180 km from the capital of Congo. They are referred to as "Chegues", a term borrowed from Che Guevara's relentless struggle for survival. Poverty has generated desperation among families. Children are no longer valued as the prize of their parents. By chance these five boys have formed a new space of solidarity, something that adults wouldn't be able to provide.
