4/8/17 review of documentary City of Joy, dir. by Madeleine Gavin

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the documentary City of Joy, directed by Madeleine Gavin.

The thread gives a summary of the documentary, which is about a center in the Congolese city of Bukavu that teaches rape survivors to become community leaders. The thread spends a lot of time on the story, which is harrowing, but also hopeful and inspiring. The thread also gives an in-depth summary of a post-screening Q&A Eve Ensler did. A lot of great information from Ensler.

I saw this film at the Denver Film Society's Women + Film Festival in Colorado.
