Muganga

Some struggles can change the course of history. Denis Mukwege, a Congolese doctor and future Nobel Peace Prize laureate, treats—at the risk of his own life—thousands of female victims of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. His encounter with Guy-Bernard Cadière, a Belgian surgeon, will breathe new life into his commitment.

Inspired by true events, the film portrays resilience, ethical complexity, and the transformative care provided at the Panzi Hospital. Featuring Isaach De Bankolé in an acclaimed lead role and filmed with the support of Angelina Jolie, the film has earned accolades such as the Audience Award at the Angoulême Film Festival. It is praised for its authenticity, powerful performances, and hopeful stance against impunity.

This event is a collaboration between 11.11.11, AUHA, Global Minds, Kamino, Student & Engagement, Karel de Grote University of Applied Sciences and Arts, AP University of Applied Sciences and Arts, IDeE, Thomas More University of Applied Sciences, University of Antwerp, USOS, VLIR-UOS, and De Cinema.
