Muganga, the Fight of Denis Mukwege
There are films that change the way we see the world. Muganga, which means “the one who heals” in Swahili, is one of them.
Marie-Hélène Roux, a director who grew up in Gabon (like me, editor’s note), took ten years to bring this film to our screens. It was co-written with Jean-René Lemoine and inspired by the book Panzi written by Denis Mukwege and Guy-Bernard Cadière.
