A WAR MOVIE is a hard-hitting cinema vérité documentary that exposes the rampant sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo as a clear example of rape used as a weapon of war, a tactic with the aim of ethnic cleansing, gaining control over conflict zones and ultimately forcing women out of public life. The story follows two Canadian women peacekeepers, deployed as part of the United Nation’s special victim’s unit, for a two-month period in 2023 following the violent anti-UN riots. In a country besieged by economic terrorism, political impunity and systemic corruption, Louise Leroux’s film bears witness to the hopes these peacekeepers shoulder versus the crushing reality they face on the ground. Ransacked by civil war for three decades, the region in Democratic Republic of Congo is where large cobalt mines are located, vital for electric batteries, that contribute to this geopolitical conflict.
