Thousands of women have suffered the unspoken casualties of the war that has been raging in the Democratic Republic of the Congo for more than a decade. Raped, tortured, defiled, these women suffer in silence and their silence is slowly destroying them and the whole nation. In this movie, these victims of rape decide to speak and unveil the atrocities they have endured at the hand of soldiers and in the name of war.
