The Democratic Republic of the Congo has been plagued by many bloody conflicts, leading to thousands of civilian victims. One of the horrors of these conflicts is the mass rape of women by soldiers: an estimated 150,000 women and girls have fallen victim to this crime. In Weapon of War, a number of soldiers and former soldiers tell their stories. Many of them are speaking about the atrocities they have committed for the very first time, and they are hardly able to acknowledge what they have done.
