... that almost all filmmakers of the cinema of the Democratic Republic of the Congo live and work abroad, such as Monique Mbeka Phoba who lives in Benin?

- The cinema article's date, length and sourcing are OK and there are no plagiarism/copyvio issues that I can see. The length, date and sourcing for Monique Mbeka Phoba are also OK, but there are one or two places where the paraphrasing is too close, even though the original is in French e.g. "Le film est centré sur les Léopards, l’équipe nationale congolaise qui, en 1974, avait été la première équipe d’Afrique noire à participer à une Coupe du Monde de la FIFA" in the original source and "The film centers on the Leopards, the Congolese national team in 1974, which was the first black African team to participate in a FIFA World Cup." in the article. Also the hook is not exactly supported by the source which says that "For now the production is fully dependent on filmmakers living and working abroad", which isn't quite the same thing, although it rather implies it. Perhaps adding 'active' before filmmakers would work. Mikenorton (talk) 19:33, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that most active filmmakers of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, such as Monique Mbeka Phoba, live and work abroad?
