My thoughts from Sundance '08, 26 January 2008
8/10
Author: ohm_intern de United States

The film-making itself was raw but that's no concern because the content was purpose of the film.

I appreciated that the director, being a gang-rape survivor herself, reached out to congalese women who are constantly vulnerable to rape attacks. In the war-ridden congo, it is too common for a woman to be a victim of rape. The film does not hold back on the graphic details of these rapes... a situation that seems almost unreal because it is so heinous and widespread.

Rape victims are interviewed in villages and hospitals about how they have lost their families and lives because of rape. The director even interviewed rapists who came up with excuses for their actions. She interviewed mothers who are raising children from rapes and also showed orphans or rape who may end up in the coltan mines. While it is difficult to watch this subject, it is necessary to know about this situation so that we, the viewers, can be moved to action. I truly am thankful the director has provided this powerful perspective into a crisis that needs to be stopped in the congo.

The director stated her intention behind the film was to spark action for people to get involved with helping rape victim women and contacting cell phone companies to demand conflit free coltan in our cell phones. I came away from the film better educated on this situation and inspired to get involved in causes supporting congalese rape victims and asking for safe coltan practices.

Please watch this film and get involved.
