Ben Rawlence sets out to gather the news that never travels far - the news from the uneasy peace being made in Congo's 'silent quarter'. He travels by foot, bike and boat, meeting people who are making a life in one of the world's most dangerous places. Along the way he exposes the real story of Congo, during and after the war.
