Inner Me

Butembo, North Kivu, DR Congo. While following Jemima, a curious little girl who wanders dusty roads, crowded markets, slaughterhouses, furnaces and bat hunters, we become acquainted with three women who describe the harsh realities of being born female and deaf in a society that discriminates against both women and people with disabilities. The stories of Immaculée, Sylvie, and Stuka are stories of the everyday struggle against marginalisation, abuse, and oppression. But despite the insurmountable obstacles imposed on them by society, the protagonists show us how their strong and undefeated will allows them to take hold of their fate every single day and reveals the beautiful resilience of the human spirit.
