Congo Rape - Video
Fighting the Silence
In “Fighting the Silence”, Ilse and
Femke van Velzen give the victims of sexual violence the opportunity to tell
their stories in a personal and very moving manner. The film highlights the
horror of widespread rape in the Democratic Republic of Congo and through
compelling images, shows the consequences of sexual violence and the first,
faltering steps towards a remedy. In “Fighting The Silence” not only do
the victims tell their stories; the men who abandoned them tell of their
motives. The dignified and understated presentation of this grave subject allows
the viewer to absorb the narrative and cope with the subject matter.
