Summary:
An intimate family portrait that unfolds against the wider drama of war, the film tackles the long-term and often hidden effects of conflict on women and families, particularly those in traditional societies--financial despair, susceptibility to rape, and social ostracism. Rose Mapendo lost her family and home to the violence that engulfed the Democratic Republic of Congo. When war came to Rose's village, she was separated from her five-year-old daughter, Nangabire. Rose managed to escape with nine of her ten children and was eventually resettled in Phoenix, Arizona. Over a decade later, mother and daughter are reunited in the US where they must face the past and build a new future.
