The Democratic Republic of Congo hosts more than a dozen armed factions at once: remnants of the Lord's Resistance Army, Mai-Mai militias, Raia Mutomboki fighters, and army defectors, all competing for territory and resources. VICE correspondent Thomas Morton rides along with US Special Forces tracking Joseph Kony's LRA through the jungle, then turns to the group he argues matters more: M23, led by Bosco Ntaganda, a former general nicknamed the Terminator by his own troops. Ntaganda's fighters, mostly Congolese Tutsis, walked out of the national army claiming Kinshasa had broken the 2009 peace accords, and their advance forces the United Nations to divert troops and money just to keep the government standing. The film also follows the money underneath the fighting, the trade in cassiterite, wolframite, and coltan that funds armed groups on every side of the conflict. Morton interviews soldiers, rebels, and villagers caught between them, building a picture of a war with too many factions for any outside audience to have kept track of.
