- Summary:
- (Producer) In eastern Congo, vying militias, armies, and bandits use rape as a weapon of terror. When 20 year old Lumo Sinai was brutally attacked, she was left with a fistula--a condition that has rendered her incontinent and threatens her ability to give birth in the future. Rejected by her fiancé and cast aside by her family, Lumo found her way to the one place that may save her: HEAL Africa, a hospital for rape survivors set on the border with Rwanda.
