The extraordinary story of Dr. Denis Mukwege, the Congolese surgeon who dedicates his life to helping women who survived sexual violence. Convinced that psychological healing must go hand-in-hand with physical reconstruction, he pioneered new surgical techniques and exposed the horror of war crimes in the Congo. Director Marie-Hélène Roux and producer Cynthia Pinet fought nearly a decade to bring this adaptation of Mukwege’s book Panzi to life. Isaach De Bankolé and Vincent Macaigne deliver moving performances, while Manon Bresch adds subtle emotional depth. A vital, devastating and essential film.
