Kimbangu attended a Baptist Missionary Society school at Wathen, near his home village. Only since the mid-1970s has much of the original missionary and government documentation on Kimbangu's early activities become available to scholars. Some accounts claim that both his mother and father were traditional Kongo healers and that his visionary activities were related to theirs. In Kikongo, the word kimbangu means "one who reveals the hidden truth." Many legends surround Kimbangu's youth and early religious activities.

Kimbangu was born on September 24, 1889, in the village of N'Kamba, located in the Ngombe district of what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The film is spoken in Dutch.KIMBANGU, SIMON (1889 –1951), African religious prophet and founder of the Church of Jesus Christ on Earth through the Prophet Simon Kimbangu. He comes out of his shell the first time at a gay bar, but that doesn’t mean that the chaos at home has changed… We see him grow up in three stages till adulthood, where he tries to find stability. In contrast, he has friends that are free and have the ability to explore their identity and sexuality, while Robin is held back by his house situation. His emotions are visualized by a red dooming light, which stands for the stress, anger, fear, and exhaustion that lives in his house and himself. From an early age, Robin has to grow up and effectively take responsibilities a child should not have to take. Or rather, parents that don’t behave like parents. Moe (Worn Out in English) is a film about surviving in a chaotic household with an alcoholic mother and an emotionally distant father.
