Seeds of Hope & Amani with introduction by French Film Festival Chair Debora Kayembe, in conversation with Director Fiona Lloyd-Davies

Filmed over three years, director Fiona Lloyd-Davies takes us deep into the lives of Congolese women and children. She tells the extraordinary story of Masika Katsuva, a woman who survived repeated rape yet dedicated her life to helping thousands of other women and children who also suffered sexual violence. The narrative also reveals the motivations of some of the perpetrators, many of them soldiers whose duty it should have been to protect the women they have been brutally violating.  Shown at the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict.
