In 2006 a documentary film crew came to HEAL Africa and filmed the story of one woman, Lumo, who had fistula as the result of her rape. On her uncertain road to recovery, Lumo shows that the solidarity of women can bind the most irreparable of wounds. The documentary became a PBS Point of View (POV) feature and has won multiple awards.
HEAL Africa has found one of the most effective means of spreading the word about what is happening with women in Congo is YOU.
