Nach zehn Jahren Amtszeit erklärt der Präsident von Burundi Pierre Nkurunziza im April 2015, dass er entgegen der Verfassungslage im Juni zum dritten Mal kandieren werde. Das treibt Tausende junge Menschen auf die Straße, gefolgt von massiver Polizeigewalt und blutigen Straßenkämpfen. Viele Tote, Massenverhaftungen und Flüchtlingsströme im Land und in die Nachbarländer sind die Folge. Der Filmemacher und Journalist Eddy Munyaneza dokumentiert in beeindruckender Weise diesen Ausbruch der Gewalt und zeigt die Opfer. Sein Engagement bringt nicht nur ihn, sondern auch seine Frau und die drei Kinder in Gefahr, die daraufhin ins Nachbarland Ruanda flüchten. Auch der Regisseur sucht schließlich Schutz im Senegal und kann so auch alles Filmmaterial retten. Und dann beginnt die Suche nach seiner Frau und den Kindern.

Jean-Marc Phaneuf, an unmarried electrical engineer, travels to Burundi as a volunteer for the NGO Radio du Monde. He finds a country ruined by grinding poverty, famine, war, disease and appalling social inequality. At the same time, he meets a joyful, brave people hungry for happiness, knowledge and human dignity. The camera that becomes his personal diary also helps Jean-Marc expose the shaky, ineffective workings of NGOs. His investigations turn up a few praiseworthy examples of international cooperation, but on the whole he finds himself drawn to a terrible, inescapable conclusion: humanitarian aid is a utopian mirage. After falling victim to an attack and losing whatever ideals he still had, Jean-Marc becomes entangled in an impossible relationship. He is ultimately forced to leave Africa in disgrace.
