The renowned Congolese gynaecologist Denis Mukwege has devoted his entire life to women who are victims of sexual assault. Despite for a long time not seeing eye to eye with him, fellow doctor and atheist Guy-Bernard Cadière supports his humanitarian mission. To guarantee women their dignity and well-being, both the doctors and their staff have to operate, often literally, on the frontline.

A biographic portrayal of a touching story about violence, care and recovery, about humanity and its fight for dignity. With Angelina Jolie assisting in the making of this film as a producer, then the UN ambassador has a good reason to do the same.
