Muganga

Muganga - He who heals Marie-Hélène Roux (FR/BE), 2025,105' French spoken - Dutch and French subtitled Muganga - He who heals In de Democratische Republiek Congo doctor Denis Mukwege continues his work in the Panzi hospital at the peril of his own life. There he treats thousands of women who have become victims of extreme sexual violence, in which their bodies are deployed as a weapon of war. When he has an encounter with the Belgian surgeon Guy Cadière, his courageous struggle and worldwide engagement receive a new impetus. Over All Eyes On, the film focus program within the operation of Lokaal Solidair: Met All Eyes On we direct the gaze toward places where the world is on fire. Not to summarize current events or to create the illusion of an overview, but to make space for voices, experiences, and perspectives that break right through headlines and simplifications. All Eyes On departs from the idea that attention is not a passive attitude, but a form of involvement. In an era of endless news feeds and fleeting outrage, the program chooses deceleration, deepening, and collective presence. Film, conversation, and food together form a temporary meeting place where listening becomes just as important as speaking, and where space arises for exchange, doubt, and solidarity.
