Ben Affleck Heads to Congo for a 4th Time

With Thanksgiving approaching, Ben Affleck has made his fourth trip to Congo to tour refugee camps and speak with aid workers.



"I'm not an expert in international affairs or diplomacy, but it doesn't take that to see the tremendous suffering here," the actor and filmmaker, who has made a documentary about the struggles there, told the Associated Press Thursday.

"It's not something that we as human beings can, in good conscience, ignore. ... My hope in being here is primarily to bring attention to the fact that there's a real lack of [assistance agencies] here, a real lack of money going to these folks."
