THE WALK

This is the story of Chanceline, a pregnant woman living in DR Congo. We accompanied her as she walked for hours under heavy rains and burning sun to reach a health facility and check her baby’s health. The result is a five-hour real-time film (with no cuts) offering the possibility to experience what it means not to have access to healthcare.

Chanceline is living in the remote village of Mulamba in DR Congo. When pregnant, she has to walk to the health facility five times. This is a total of 270 km by foot. Chanceline is one voice out of millions for whom healthcare is too far, too expensive or simply nonexistent.

Very satisfied about the work delivered. In severe circumstances a solid good film was delivered serving perfectly the purpose to show the difficult circumstances for women to gain access to health. This real-time documentary is a monument for Women in Africa and their difficulties during pregnancy.

CRIPPLING TREK! In a world of cultural enlightenment, it's a first that We Heart urge you to suffer arduous boredom. But bear with us. Billing itself as the most boring video stream of all time is, in the eyes of most, not the catchiest of marketing strategies. Keen devotees of dullness may tune into a five-hour stream of a woman walking 27 kilometers in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Reckon Don Draper could sell that one?
