“In her graphic and extremely powerful film ... Jackson leads a brave and determined investigation.”
– Daniele Bora, NEED - The Humanitarian Magazine, April 7th, 2008
Since 1998 a brutal war has been raging in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Over 4 million people have died. And there are the uncountable casualties: the many tens of thousands of women and girls who have been systematically kidnapped, raped, mutilated and tortured by soldiers from both foreign militias and the Congolese army.
The world knows nothing of these women. Their stories have never been told. They suffer and die in silence. In The Greatest Silence these brave women finally speak.
