Political Crisis in Burundi

Staged portrait of Elise*, the mother of a young man, who recently disappeared in a bus attack. She points out that her son must have been on a list of wanted individuals because he was already involved in an unexplained road accident some time before. She was trying to get medial care to cover his injuries when she received threats saying: "You better keep playing humble. We will always be above you. If you continue, we will take care of you!" As of today, she remains without any news from her son. "They keep killing unarmed children. We are in turmoil!" she says.
