Join us for a screening of the documentary "The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo" followed by a discussion with the film's director, Lisa F. Jackson, as we raise awareness of the current situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the use of rape as a weapon of war.

Winner of the 2008 Sundance film festival's special jury prize for documentary, the film exposes the war that has been going on for over a decade. Ms. Jackson interviews numerous community members including militia and rape survivors to try to uncover the mentality behind the fighting and gruesome war tactics. "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. "
