Shot in the war zones of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), this extraordinary film sensitively yet unflinchingly shows the plight of women and girls caught in that country’s intractable conflicts. Herself a survivor of rape, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Lisa Jackson travels through the DRC to understand why this is happening, interviewing activists, peacekeepers, physicians and the indifferent perpetrators. The most remarkable moments of the film come as survivors recount inspiring examples of resilience, resistance, courage and grace. Special Jury Prize, Sundance Film Festival 2008.
