While returning home one day, Lumo and another woman were gang-raped by a group of soldiers fighting for control of the Democratic Republic of the Congo during the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

As a result, Lumo suffered from a traumatic fistula, a chronic condition that leaves her unable to bear children.

Rejected by her fiancé and most of the village, Lumo examines a woman's tragedy and the process of healing.

[1] Lumo was directed and produced by Bent-Jorgen Perlmutt, Nelson Walker III, Louis Abelman and Lynn True and was aired as part of PBS's Point of View series in 2007.
