Muganga - Celui Qui Soigne (Muganga: The Healer - 2025) 105’, directed by Marie-Hélène ROUX. In de Democratische Republiek Congo, doctor Denis Mukwege (2018 Nobel Peace Prize winner) continues his work at the Panzi Hospital at the peril of his own life. He treats thousands of women there who have fallen victim to extreme sexual violence, where their bodies are deployed as a weapon of war. When he meets the Belgian surgeon Guy Cadière, his courageous fight and global commitment receive a new impetus. All Eyes On, the film focus program within the operations of Lokaal Solidair: with All Eyes On we turn our gaze to places where the world is on fire to make room for voices, experiences, and perspectives that break right through headlines and simplifications. Film, conversation, and food together form a temporary meeting place where listening becomes just as important as speaking, and where space is created for exchange, doubt, and solidarity.
