Colonel Munyole is a stalwart mother of seven who considers her profession of policewoman to be her mission. In Bukavu, a city

in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, she heads a small unit that focuses on the rights of victims, particularly rape survivors and abused children. After being transferred to Kisangani, not only does she find the police station in complete disarray, but in addition the region is war-torn, relationships are broken and residents are traumatized. Neighbours envy the official victim status of rape survivors. Parents get rid of unwanted children by labelling them as demon-possessed. The documentary neither

analyses nor comments; instead it offers an authentic insight into a society that, although marked by civil war, still produces true heroes.
