A documentary film about Doctor Denis Mukwege, a gynecologist and a human rights activist who mended thousands of women who have been raped during the 20 years of conflicts in the East of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In 2014, Doctor Mukwege won the Sakharov Prize for his work, and for advocating for female survivors of wartime violence. The film documents Doctor Mukwege and those who support and work with him, survivors of wartime violence, and conflict minerals, which is one of the causes of this prolonged conflict.
