Denis Mukwege, a Congolese doctor later awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018, risks his life to heal and become a world leading activist for thousands of women who have been raped and mutilated in the Democratic Republic of Congo – a country in which women’s bodies have become a weapon of war. In Panzi, his hospital which has become a haven of peace, Guy Cadière, a Belgian surgeon, pioneer in laparoscopy, fights by his side so that these women find dignity and hope.
