Weapon of War: Confessions of Rape In Congo
WEAPON OF WAR, an award-winning film honored by Amnesty International, journeys to the heart of this crisis, where we meet its perpetrators.

We also see former rapists struggling to change their own or others’ behavior, and reintegrate into their communities.
