After leaving INRACI Bomanyama-Zandu started his own production company, Ateliers de Production des Films du Congo (APFC), now called Zandu Films, based in Kinshasa and Brussels.[3] In 2001 he made a documentary on Gbadolite, the former stronghold of Mobutu Sese Seko in the region of the DRC, later controlled by Jean-Pierre Bemba. The film recorded testimonies about the atrocities committed by the forces of Mobutu, and then by troops from Chad and Uganda. He was forced to leave this film in the hands of Bemba's security service.[1]
