Summary:The film was titled, produced and directed for WITNESS and Oxygen by academy award nominee Lilibet Foster with WITNESS partner, Binta Mansaray. It documents the brutal use of rape as a weapon of war in Sierra Leone. The story is told through the eyes the survivors - women and girls, as well as the child soldiers and perpetrators.
