Maze April 2010 IndigoO2 Review

A Dangerous Place For Women

Last night on BBC3 I watched what was a harrowing documentary film about the plight of women in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). If you haven’t seen it, I urge you to take a look, and take in the subject matter, then I urge you to tell everyone you know about it and get [...]
