A co-presentation between Cinematheque Ontario and the Human Rights Watch Toronto Committee featuring a screening of A Love During The War.
A Love During The War manages a remarkable feat, telling an uplifting story of love that is utterly uncontrived, while situating it within the context of
a bloody war and the horrifying phenomenon of systematic rape committed by militias and armies in the Congo.
Special Guest Sgt. Debbie Bodkin will share stories of her experience in Sudan and the continuing plight of the people of Darfur. In 2004, Sgt. Bodkin worked as an investigator with the United Nations Commission of Inquiry for Darfur in Sudan, searching out and interviewing victims, witnesses and suspects of the occurring horrific crimes.
Dr. Sumeet Sodhi, Director of Research and Operations for Dignitas International will introduce the film.
