I just feel so proud to be woman when I see them overcoming their pain. It openend my eyes about this strategic war technique. Our body parts should never be something that we are ashamed of. At least in this fight we are together as one. This documentary shows us how we all belong together.

Plot summary
The Democratic Republic of Congo has endured 20 years of devastating violence. Rape has been used as a weapon of war to destroy community and access precious minerals. Congo is often referred to as “the worst place in the world to be a woman.” "City of Joy" tells a different story of the region. The film focuses on Jane, a student at a center where women who have suffered unimaginable abuse join together to become leaders. We also meet the founders of the center: a devout Congolese Doctor, a Congolese activist, and a radical N.Y. playwright. The film weaves between joy and pain as these individuals band together to demand hope in a place so often deemed hopeless.

Women
Never buy a new phone.
Your new phone causes so much harm and trauma and violence towards so many people. Please think before you get a new phone or any new tech. This goes for diamonds too. This documentary has to be one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen! These women are amazing and inspiring and empowering! They are so beautiful!! I feel disgusted with myself that I have participated and been a part in their trauma and violence by buying a new phone. I didn't know what was going on but now I do. Now I know better. We need to do better as a society for people and especially for women everywhere and especially in the Congo. The Congo is such an important country and beautiful country.
