The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo
''The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo'' is a 2007 documentary film directed by Lisa F. Jackson concerned with survivors of rape in the regions affected by
ongoing conflicts stemming from the Second Congo War. Central to the film are moving interviews with the survivors themselves, as well as interviews with self-confessed rapist soldiers.

It aired on HBO in January & February 2009.
==Synopsis==
In 2006, producer/director Lisa F. Jackson travelled alone to the war zones of the Democratic Republic of the Congo documenting the plight of women and girls impacted by the conflicts there. She was "afforded privileged access"〔http://thegreatestsilence.org〕 to the realities of life in Congo, and found "examples of resiliency, resistance, courage and grace".〔http://thegreatestsilence.org〕 In a 2008 interview with NPR, Jackson said "I knew going to eastern Congo as a white woman alone in the bush with a video camera that I might as well have landed from a spaceship."〔http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89476111〕 Jackson had been a victim of gang rape thirty years earlier, and shared this experience with the survivors she interviewed. Much of the film features these women recounting their stories, which have left them "traumatised and isolated - shunned by society and their families, and suffering life-long health effects, including HIV."〔Cape Times, March 6, 2009.〕 Context and background are discussed in interviews with doctors, politicians, peacekeepers, activists and priests. Jackson visits a clinic devoted to treating women with traumatic injury due to sexual violence, particularly cases of vesicovaginal and rectovaginal fistula. In addition, Jackson went out into the bush to interview some of the perpetrators, soldiers who spoke without apparent conscience about the women they had raped, and their often bizarre justifications. "You really can say that there's a culture of impunity in the Congo, where none of these men will face arrest for what they've confessed to me on videotape," Jackson noted.〔http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89476111〕 The focus of the film, though, is the stories of the victims, "who just poured their hearts out to me with these stories, including over and over again, please take these stories to someone who will make a difference."〔http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=91692457〕
