Must see this film because it opens up your eyes to what is going on in the Congo and what is being done to women. You can read about it, but nothing will stick like seeing the images and interviews with these women that makes the issue important. I urge everyone to watch the film and see what how you can help with this issue.

Let me begin by saying that this is such a tear jerker for the sad realities of the struggle woman go through in Congo. These woman go through more pain and trauma than I could even imagine anyone entail. It is amazing to me to see how cultural difference can change how others perceive people being raped. For instance, people in the US who are raped, others are sympathetic for them and what to try and help them through psychological treatment. Yet in DRC these women are viewed as being the âproblem.â? Not only do their husbands tend to leave them but they are torn away from their entire family. The documentary brings to light how in the DRC is up close and very personal with the women and their stories. I think it makes you appreciate the US judicial system in the protection of women rights, but hurts your heart for the women in other countries who are not as fortunate. I truly hope that documentaries like this will help these women grow and persevere from their hard times, while preventing other woman from encountering such evilness. I pray that the DRC will try and change this in the near future and in order to survive. Many of them take on more than an average person should in order to provide for the bare minimal for their family. It is amazing to see that they take on so much and yet ask for so little. It makes you realize how fortunate some of us have while we still thing sometimes it is not enough, while others would dream of our reality here in the create some form of consequence for those who do such things.

Wow... never seen such an ambitious documentary. The producer who was a rape victim herself goes into the Congo and interviews not only the victims of systematic rape but amazingly several of the rapists to explore the endless cycle of violence in the heart of Africa.It only slightly touches on the economic exploitation of the region and UN's involvement in sex crimes in the region, focussing on giving the female victims of rape a voice. A chilling piece of film.

Sad, disturbing and tragic documentary about the sexual violence that women in the Congo must deal with daily and their bodies become likened to tools and wargrounds as a means of systematically breaking down and dominating the enemy.
