Rape has been used as a real weapon of war during the conflicts that have ravaged the Great Lakes region in recent decades. Rwandan, Congolese and Burundian victims courageously testify, some for the first time. They call on the international community, the law of silence is finally broken and this is a sign that things are starting to change...

A film by Joseph Bitamba selected for the Festival Vues d'Afrique 2021.
