The civil war in Congo has claimed the lives of five million people. Far from Gone is an intimate portrayal of two Congolese refugees from that war, Stephen and Boniface, who found themselves in a desolate refugee camp in Zambia after narrowly escaping from their war-torn country. For three years they were neighbors and radical preachers at their local church until Stephen was offered a new life in Europe. Far from Gone is not only a story about the breakup of a profound friendship but a rare insight into the reality facing modern-day refugees.
