The United Nations Department of Public Information, HBO, and The New School present documentaries addressing the global issue of gender-based violence. Screenings begin with shorts produced by UNTV followed by the featured film, The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo. The latest work by Emmy Award winner Lisa F. Jackson is a shocking expose of a decade-old epidemic of kidnapping, rape and torture of women and girls in the civil war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo. A Q&A session with the filmmaker and representatives from the United Nations and The New School's Graduate Program in International Affairs concludes the evening. The film's educational distributor is Women Make Movies.
