"The Forgotten Children of Congo" is a 2007 British documentary film written, produced and directed by Alex Tweddle for Angry Man Pictures Ltd.

The documentary ‘The Forgotten Children of Congo’ was filmed over four weeks in the Democratic Republic of Congo. From the remoteness of the Congo Basin, to the capital Kinshasa and the volatile Ituri Province in the East, this powerful and sometimes harrowing documentary focuses on the plight of the country's street children, many of whom were found to be involved in witchcraft, cannibalism and as child soldiers.
