In the hilltops of Burundi, a group of escaped coltan miners form an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective. From their camp in an otherworldly e-waste dump, they attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime exploiting the region's natural resources – and its people. When an intersex runaway and an escaped coltan miner find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry.

the vibrant nightscapes with neon colouring were so beautiful. the sounds and music were also so communicative that the disjointed story didn’t dilute the message at all. i also just have to mention the campness of their makeup and costume (amazingg). pure vibes and just all in all my kind of movie!
