Sum 41: Rocked - Sum 41 in Congo

Rocked: Sum 41 in Congo is a grippingly honest and unscripted first-hand account of an African country in turmoil seen through the eyes of internationally acclaimed rock band Sum 41. While in the Democratic Republic of Congo with WarChild Canada, band members Deryck, Steve, Cone and Dave get caught in the middle of a tense battle between heavily armed rebel soldiers and government troops. The war in Congo has been characterized as one of the world's most humanitarian crises and the most deadly war ever documented in Africa. More than 3 million people have been killed in the last 6 years, making it the most lethal conflict since World War II. The film crew follows Sum 41 as they meet Congolese children and youth caught in the crossfire, including child soldiers and victims of assault. Sum 41's harrowing experience is caught on film as they witness firsthand what it is like to struggle for survival in a country where, since 1998, war has been more prevalent than peace.
