The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a country badly in need of government, any government. Bob journeys north up the river Congo on a UN patrol boat reflecting on the political chaos that rips Africa apart perpetuates corruption and stifles hope. He visits the City of Kisangani, not to long ago a Hollywood haven for stars like Humphrey Bogart and Catherine Hepburn and investigates a rumour that here, AIDS began as a result of trials of Western medicine, today this rumour prevents people trusting modern cures for disease. He also talks to real life Harry and Harriette Potters in a Congaleese Hogwarts where he meets children who still believe that the supernatural is more powerful than medicine and science.
