Against the harsh realities of the Second Congo War, Cockroaches, God, Death, and Mangoes reveals an extraordinary tale of survival and resilience.

When six-year-old Bikonzi and his family are torn from their home and thrust into the horrors of a concentration camp, they must navigate a world where hope is scarce and survival comes at a steep cost. As Bikonzi grapples with the absence of God and the omnipresence of Death, his family makes a pact to endure-no matter the compromises and sacrifices required.

In this gripping true story, the Moise family's journey reveals the unyielding human spirit's ability to find light even in the darkest of times.
