The Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo is a region where being a woman is hard, often experiencing violence in the wake of a 20 year long war driven by colonialism. In the film, women band together at the leadership center to find a way to handle the horrible experiences they've had to live through and come out on the other side to be leaders and inspirations for other women in the region.
