THE GREATEST SILENCE: RAPE IN THE CONGO
By Lisa F. Jackson
Director in person
Since 1998 a brutal war has been raging in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where over 4 million people have died. And there are the uncountable casualties: the many tens of thousands of women and girls who have been systematically kidnapped, raped, mutilated and tortured by soldiers from both foreign militias and the Congolese army. In the film these brave women speak-out, uncovering wrenching testimony from dozens of survivors. This film gives them dignity, a face and a voice that will finally break the silence that surrounds their plight.
