Im Schatten des Bösen
The director spent four weeks at the local hospital in Bukavu, the capital of the Congolese province of Sud-Kivu, filming rape victims. Even if the civil war is officially over, it has left deep scars in minds and bodies. Whether they belong to the bands of Hutu refugees in the Congo in 1994 after the genocide, or to various militias carrying out raids to procure arms, many attacked and continue to attack women. The victims are now treated at the Panzi hospital in Bukavu. They were repeatedly raped and tortured; some were abducted as sex slaves for combatant camps. Babies, little girls or grandmothers, their age mattered little, nothing could stop the fury and sadism of the tormenters.
