Sexual Violence as a Weapon in Congo

We are releasing 2 titles this Fall dealing with the current situation in Congo, CONGO IN FOUR ACTS, which is composed of 4 short films including one specifically about violence against women, and STATE OF MIND: HEALING TRAUMA about Albert Pesso, an American psychotherapist who brings his method to Congo to help war victims, including a woman who was held hostage and sexually abused for two years.
