He is known as “the man who repairs women”.Over the past 16 years, he has treated over 40,000 patients, giving them the hope of rebuilding a life for themselves as women.In October 2012, Dr. Mukwege was the victim of a second attempt on his life and miraculously escaped death. After a short period of exile in Belgium, he returned to Bukavu after his patients bought him a plane ticket back.This film is the portrait of an outstanding man, a preacher, doctor, and family man, whose path and tireless struggle against barbarism is of interest to all those who fight to put an end to these war crimes.
