In October 1988, it was widely reported around the world that eleven footballers in DR Congo had been killed by a bolt of lightning during a football match, all from one team, whilst their opponents were unharmed.

It is a story which has often been repeated in the 23 years since, though very little additional evidence, explanation, or insight has ever been provided.

So in this documentary, HITC Sevens tries to find out what really happened in the Congo, between Bashanga and Bena Tshadi, whether there is more to this story than initially meets the eye, and why the whole case is so unusual.
