An urgent and powerful film inspired by the true story of Dr. Denis Mukwege, who treats survivors of wartime sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo. When he meets Belgian surgeon Guy Cadière, they join forces to help women recover from physical and emotional devastation.

Denis Mukwege, a Congolese doctor, pastor and future Nobel Peace Prize winner, meets Guy Cadière, a Belgian surgeon and atheist. Despite their differences, they are united by a common goal: to restore the bodies and dignity of thousands of women who have been abused as weapons of war in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

At the Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, the two men work in a protected environment with remarkable resilience.
