The showing will be followed by a debate with the director, Thierry Michel, and other persons specialized on the topic.

This full-length feature film retraces the suffering and ruthless violence faced by the Democratic Republic of Congo for over 25 years. The country, torn apart by huge conflicts, today counts its victims in the millions.

Around this film, several initiatives are also being carried out. A petition has been established to abolish the fighting and combat impunity in the DRC. The debate will be an opportunity broach the topic of the sad reality of the crimes in conflict zones, particularly sexual violence against women and how to fight against the impunity for these crimes.
