Synopsis: Directed by Madeleine Gavin, City of Joy follows the unlikely friendship that develops between Congolese doctor Dr. Denis Mukwege (2016 Nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize), The Vagina Monologues playwright Eve Ensler, and a charismatic Congolese human rights activist who join forces to create a safe haven for women survivors in the middle of violence-torn Eastern Congo.
The tragedy of City of Joy, as a documentary, is that it is an unknown story based on a common tale; civilian women and children are the ones that are most affected and killed by war, even though they do not fight it. Yet, City of Joy displays the unfortunate obviousness of seeing the misfortunate pay for the powerful’s choices through a story of friendship that created a safe haven for women living in hell. City of Joy is not a utopia, but, instead, the name of a gated, housing community, in the Republic of Congo, where women are safe enough to heal from a world that nearly destroyed them.
Congolese Dr Denis Mukwege, Vagina Monologues creator, Eve Ensler, and Congolese human rights activist, Christine Schuler-Deschryver form a random, but seemingly fated bond that leads to a home for women abused, in the cruelest of ways, by the terrorizing militias. The Congo Wars were brutal, and some fear another one is coming. Yet, one thing that has remained consistent through these conflicts, before and after, is how women were treated. Psychologically, you will hear stories throughout City of Joy that will make you ask, “Why are you still alive?” It is in that question that this documentary finds glimmers of hope.
When you see how someone is living, especially if they are tortured, you may ask yourself, “How are you continuing? Why don’t you let go?” These people ask themselves the same, and, as City of Joy proceeds to explain the wars of the Congo and how rape became a common tool of destruction, the devastation on your screen makes you question the worthiness of living. You hear the tales of poor women whom are beaten, raped, watch their families die, have the little they own stolen, and even become enslaved by men who use their guns and bodies as weapons to wound them. Imagine having men enter your body without your permission, and leaving you starving, bleeding, alone, and reeling from both spiritual and physical pain. I do not mean to get graphic; although this films has scenes and descriptions that make you cringe at knowing another human being went through such suffering. Yet, City of Joy is still a lesson on how hope is not the choice of the deranged but of the survivors.
Why let go? Sometimes, it takes losing everything to analyze what “everything” means, and to push yourself to rebuild as someone that does not let “everything” define them. The City of Joy community should actually be called City of Strength and Wisdom because, through therapy and friendship, these women learn a higher, spiritual way of living that they can then take back to their own villages. The war may have cost them their bodies, but City of Joy, as a facility, was made to show them it did not cost them their soul. As you watch Ensler, Mukwege, and Schuler-Deschryver unite with a genuine compassion and love for these war-torn women, you feel relieved that people do care. Each of these persons have the opportunity to not be involved in the Congo’s conflicts, and could have used their privileges to live easier lives. Yet, when you hear the victims’ stories, you understand why individuals cannot turn away.
City of Joy does NOT shy away from blaming the international community for its abandonment of the Congo. This area is used by the world for its resources, but left in rubble because of it. Yet, the power of the individual shines throughout City of Joy in showing a good person can unite good people, and, in time, make a good community. All you need is to be a good person, and you will find and be found by others like you. Thus, from the founders of City of Joy to those that call it their temple from the war, this Netflix documentary displays optimism is not just about waiting for good to happen, but also learning how to embrace it again.

Parents need to know that City of Joy is a powerful documentary about women and girls of Bukavu, Eastern Congo who have survived rape and been victimized by the horrors of war. The women and staff profiled in this film live in The City of Joy, a nonprofit community that works to heal the survivors and provide them with leadership tools so that they, too, can work toward helping others. Celebrated as a remarkable success, the facility “graduates” 180 women per year. A significant element of women’s recovery is truth-telling, and their stories are heartbreakingly cruel and sexually violent. Discussion of the female body and its reproductive organs is frank, and sometimes the evil perpetrated upon the women/girls is harrowing. On the other hand, the film’s focus on the miraculous folks who have committed both their professional and personal lives to saving these women (some barely in their teens) and the progress of the women themselves makes the movie both inspirational, optimistic, and ultimately satisfying. Due to its mature themes and the stories told, this isn’t a movie for kids.
WHAT’S THE STORY?
CITY OF JOY takes place in Bukavu, Eastern Congo, where a devastating war has been going on since 1996. The outlying areas, which are the source of abundant and valuable minerals, are under siege. Multinational companies “employ” militias of young men who are tasked with emptying the villages. Raping and pillaging are a primary military tactic. Hundreds of thousands of women and girls have been raped; children and infants have been slaughtered. Citizens flee from the violence, leaving the resources to the aggressors. Dr. Denis Mukwege, a gynecologist, and Christina Schuyler-Deschryver, a community activist, founded The City of Joy as a safe harbor for survivors. Eve Ensler, playwright and tireless worker on behalf of women, joins them. The residents’ medical and psychological needs are met to the greatest extent possible. In addition, the women are trained as leaders, their terrifying experiences a backdrop for their renewal. City of Joy offers a new life, hope, community, and inspiration. The women tell their stories. They are instructed in the art of self-defense. Most significant are their efforts to regain their selfhood and their joy. They dance; they sing; they sew; they support one another; they take steps to re-enter the world under their own power.
IS IT ANY GOOD?
This moving, beautifully-executed documentary is as heartbreaking as it is uplifting; the women of this extraordinary community are the bravest of souls, the most resilient, and the most inspiring. Madeleine Gavin has delivered a film that gives special meaning to the motto of this community. Like the residents there who learn to live again, Gavin has “transformed pain” into a powerful film that deserves to be seen. Winner of Best Documentary Film awards at an array of film festivals, it’s sometimes a challenge to watch. Stories told with such detailed sexual violence and such intimacy cannot help but elicit profound emotions.
At the same time, the messages — about resilience, about the ability of an individual to radically affect change — leaven the horror with hope. It’s rare to encounter a hero such as Dr. Mukwege, a young woman with the courage of Jane Mukunila, or such stalwart activists as Christine Schuyler-Deschryver and Eve Ensler. This film assures that they won’t be forgotten.

How does one find joy amid unspeakable tragedy? Madeleine Gavin’s documentary City of Joy, about a community built around women who have survived horrific violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), gives us a glimpse at both an incredible injustice still occurring today, and how Congolese women are combating it with their own grassroots movement.
The documentary follows the beginnings of City of Joy, a center established in 2011 in the eastern region of the DRC to help women who have been victimized by the ongoing mining conflicts in the area. The center was set up by the Panzi hospital founder Dr Denis Mukwege, women’s rights activist Christine Schuler Deschryver and Eve Ensler, author of the Vagina Monologues and founder of V-Day. Schuler Deschryver is the director and works with staff to oversee day-to-day operations, while Mukwege serves as an adviser and Ensler helps to fundraise and raise awareness.
“Everything is about love at City of Joy,” Schuler Deschryver told the Guardian. She described how many of the women who first arrive at City of Joy associate being touched only with violence. “So when you hug her and tell her she’s beautiful, that you love her, that you will fight for her, suddenly she’s like: ‘Oh my God, I exist. I’m a human being.’ You see the joy that [the women] have and know what they’ve passed through. I think that’s one of the reasons I wake up every morning.”
A large, gated community within the city of Bukavu, City of Joy serves as a type of boarding school: the women stay there for six months, and during that time they focus entirely on healing. Ensler describes it as a “kind of spiral of love”: there’s a collective of social workers and “Mamas” who built City of Joy with their own hands, and they’re the ones who do the cooking and take care of the women. “The women have someone take care of their children so they can purely focus on their own recovery, on getting better,” said Ensler. “And they have every kind of class imaginable. I mean, they have from group therapy to learning their rights to self-defense to learning permaculture and agriculture to learning English. It’s a whole roster.”
This format was entirely determined by the Congolese women themselves. “Dr Mukwege, Christine and I spent weeks and weeks talking to the women and listening to stories,” said Ensler. “We started asking women what they wanted. What did they need the most, what would help them the most? And the majority of them said that they needed a safe space where they could heal. Where they could learn, where they could become leaders and do something to change the direction of the country.”
Eastern DRC is rich in the four most commonly mined conflict minerals: coltan, tin, tungsten and gold. Once processed, these minerals are sold to companies all over the world to make consumer products such as phones, laptops, cars and appliances. Coltan, in particular, is the integral ingredient that allows smartphones and electronics to hold a charge. Some of the companies that use coltan, and thus benefit from these conflicts, are Apple, Nintendo, Sharp, Nikon, Sony, Canon, Toshiba, Lenovo and Samsung.
The demand for these invaluable resources has led countless militia groups to vie for control of the mines, and this proxy war has created unspeakable atrocities in the surrounding areas, with many of the victims being women and girls. It’s almost impossible to accurately track the magnitude of this humanitarian disaster, but a study published in the American Journal of Public Health estimated about 48 women are raped in the DRC every hour. At his Panzi hospital, Dr Mukwege has performed reconstructive surgery on over 40,000 women who have been brutalized by sexual violence as a result of militia taking over their villages. In speaking to the Guardian in 2015, Mukwege called rape the “monstrosity of the century”.
Schuler Deschryver said the militia use “rape as a weapon” solely to “terrorize people”. This conflict has been raging since 1996; while the war that sparked these events officially ended in July 2003, both Ensler and Schuler Deschryver have seen little meaningful, lasting change from the world powers and multinational corporations that benefit from the sale of these minerals.

“You know, I think this is where I become like a crazy person, because it’s over 12 years later and Dr Mukwege, Christine and I have made the rounds to every person with power on the planet and it’s still going on,” said Ensler. “Nothing has changed. And then you start thinking like, OK, do the people of Congo matter to anyone? Do the women of Congo matter to anyone?”
There have been some attempts to audit the sale of conflict minerals. In 2012, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a rule mandated by former president Barack Obama’s Dodd-Frank Act that companies registered with the SEC had to disclose the use of conflict minerals sourced from the DRC, and they had to submit their reports by May 2014. While well-intentioned, regulating the minerals did not successfully snuff out the violence or existence of various militia groups. Amnesty International published a study in 2016 that concluded that many of the companies subject to reporting requirements under Dodd-Frank were still “contributing to the funding of armed groups or fuelling human rights abuses in the DRC”. As late as March 2018, those same companies were still “trying to ensure” their coltan was ethically sourced, and just last year Donald Trump drafted an executive order that would suspend the Dodd-Frank rule entirely.
“I don’t think they want it to change,” said Schuler Deschryver. “They want to keep going on so they can just plunder Congo with no witnesses.”
It’s an endlessly frustrating situation, and the hope is that the wide release of City of Joy on Netflix will help people to realize how interconnected we all are – and how we should be demanding our own countries and corporations do better. “I think people are so surprised to find out how complicit we all are in these wars and in the rape,” said Ensler. “Because the fact of the matter is, every time a village gets ransacked, and every time a rape is used to get people to flee their villages, it’s so the village can be taken over because of the mines. And so we’re all part of this story, whether we know it or not.”
The women of City of Joy, meanwhile, continue to do the important work – healing themselves, healing each other and figuring out, hopefully, how to heal the country itself.
The key to this is teaching the women how to become leaders in their communities. “When we can we help [the women] realize their dream,” said Schuler Deschryver. “They have a mission: when they go back to their communities, it’s to spread the message and everything they learned at City of Joy. So now, we even have some women who are the chief of their village. Some of them are partners of V-Day to help recruit more women. Some are now directors of schools, and some of them, because they had communication classes, they’re at a local radio station. And they go and help the other girls … it’s amazing. It’s like we’ve created a whole network of women in solidarity.”
Since its inception in 2011, City of Joy has graduated 1,117 women. “When women arrive … many of them have been exiled because they’ve been raped. They’ve been marginalized and really live on the edges. And many come so bruised and so battered and with diseases and sickness,” said Ensler. “And when you see them six months later you can’t even believe it’s the same people. They’re just these radiant, gorgeous flowers that have blossomed and who are secure and competent.”
It’s difficult to see how and when the violence in the DRC will end, but that doesn’t stop the women from focusing on their goal of raising awareness, and demanding more responsibility and transparency from foreign entities. “For the war to end in Congo, I don’t know how,” said Schuler Deschryver. “I don’t know how this will end, but we will keep fighting, knowing we are fighting against giants and we are just little.”
And there’s hope that the film will inspire more to join the movement. “It’s really hard to get people to care about women in Congo, as you can imagine,” said Ensler. “And I feel so overjoyed that finally their voices and their stories are getting out. So it’s thrilling, and hopefully this will inspire people to wake up to not only what’s happening in the Congo, but also just to think about how we can create literal and metaphoric City of Joys everywhere.”

Raw visceral painful heart breaking joyous hopeful film about The City of Joy in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a place where women can go to heal and find strength in he face of the violence committed against them. It is one of the most vital, important and best films I saw in 2016 and now it is coming to Netflix.
Congo has been at war with itself for the better part of the last two decades. Spurred on by various governments and multinational corporations who want to control the countries vast mineral wealth (much of which is need for cellphones and computers) various factions have been shooting each other and the population to get what they want or simply enslaving them outright. The various forces outside the country have been funding factions inside the country in order to cause chaos so they can seize control of the countries natural resources. Since the country is in a state of war there is no regulation and the miners can pillage the land. Meanwhile the militias that roam the country kill whom ever they want and commit acts of sexual violence against the women.
The film chronicles the founding of City of Joy by Dr. Denis Mukwege, Christine Schuler Deschryver and Eve Ensler, who were moved to so something after the sheer weight of the violence against women in Congo became too much to bear. They had to do something, and so they set up a place where the women could be safe, be taught how to overcome the trauma and become empowered to change themselves and the country. It is a ray of light piercing the darkness that is much of Congo.
A mix of pained stories and of hope, CITY OF JOY is a truly special film. A visceral gut punch this is one of those rare treasures that will have you crying from sadness one minute and laughter the next. Director Madeleine Gavin beautifully modulates the the film so that we are always aware that the terrible things that have happened to these women, while never letting us forget that it is possible to rise up and become something stronger. We watch them cry and we watch them smile- and most importantly we watch the tears become laughter.
How do I talk about this film? How do I critique it? I don’t think it’s possible. CITY OF JOY simply over comes any reservations one might have by simply chronicling how people can be stronger than the situations they are put into. It is a shining reminder that there are still good people in the world.
I can not praise or recommend this film enough. An absolute must see when it hits Neflix Friday

City of Joy director, Christine Schuler Deschryver with the graduating girls!
On 21 June, 89 women of the 13th class were honored as they celebrated their completion of a 6-month healing and leadership program at City of Joy. These women have been honored for their courage for overcoming their pain, and for their resilience and determination. These women have gone to reestablish themselves as independent women who have the skills to take control of their lives, and return to their communities as leaders.
The graduating women testify that they have become knowledgeable of their rights. They were determined to “use their knowledge and their heart to stand up for those who can’t stand, speak for those who can’t speak, be a beacon of light for those whose lives have become dark, fight the good fight against violence in their homes and society, be a part of all that is good and decent, and be ambassadors for the kind of world they want to live in.”
“What a victory and achievement to witness thousands of young Congolese women Rising from the ashes in their glory and power to reimagine the country and world. Heart bursting with pride, love and deepest respect for my sister comrade friend leader Christine Schuler Deschryver and the whole team of healers teachers and visionaries who give their lives for this transformation!! #WomenTakingBackTheWorld“ – Eve Ensler
Over 1100 women leaders have graduated from City of Joy since it began. A revolutionary, transformational leadership community for women survivors of violence, City of Joy is conceived, owned, and run by local Congolese. Amidst an active conflict zone, it has flourished since it first opened its doors in June 2011, healing women from their past trauma through therapy and life skills programming while providing them with the essential ingredients needed to move forward in life – love and community.

RISE in Solidarity #FamiliesBelongTogether Actions TOMORROW – Saturday, 30 June
In the face of violent, inhumane separation of children from their parents and the mass criminalization of families on the United States border, we call on V-Day and One Billion Rising activists across the United States to RISE IN SOLIDARITY and declare FAMILIES BELONG TOGETHER this Saturday, 30 June.
Join the day of action, with more than 700 events in all 50 United States, and an anchor protest in Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C. Tens of thousands of people are expected to participate. The actions are focused on opposing the separation and detention of immigrant families.
Reunite families now. Permanently end family separation and immediately reunify those that have been separated.
End family detention. Children and families deserve due process, not indefinite imprisonment. Children do not belong in baby cages and internment-like camps. Family incarceration is not the solution to family separation.
End ‘Zero Tolerance.’ Reverse the Trump administration’s policy that created this crisis and chaos to begin with. Parents should not be criminally prosecuted for doing what all parents do, which is bring their children to safety. This horrible nightmare for families will only end when Trump permanently stops his 100% prosecution policy.
#FamiliesBelongTogether — and not in cages. Wear White in solidarity with the protests at the border.
The US Supreme Court rulings of June 26 reflect a racist, xenophobic and misogynistic administration and ruling party. As a global activist movement, we look at the intersection of class, race, imperialism, militarism, patriarchy, poverty, and war, across layers of systematic and societal oppression. Our commitment to RISE is stronger than ever. Our demand is clear.
Make no mistake. We won’t let @POTUS & @SenateMajLdr get their way without one hell of a fight. We control our bodies. #SaveSCOTUS #1BillionRising #UntilTheViolenceStops
V-Day & One Billion Rising activists have performed, protested, danced on stages and in the streets around the world in solidarity and in protest; rising and demanding an end to the exploitation of women and girls. Together we have amplified the demands of the most marginalized – working class and minority women on the margins in every part of the globe – who experience the impact and are forced to confront attacks on their welfare, rights, and homes.
In the face of violent, inhumane separation of children from their parents and the mass criminalization of families on the United States border, we call on V-Day and One Billion Rising activists across the United States to RISE IN SOLIDARITY and declare FAMILIES BELONG TOGETHER on June 30.
V-Day and One Billion Rising are joining with National Domestic Workers Alliance, Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, ACLU, MoveOn, and hundreds of other groups in rallies in Washington, D.C. and around the US to ensure the Trump administration and the GOP know that #FamiliesBelongTogether and the American people are calling to #EndFamilySeparation.
Events are being staged in Washington, D.C. and across the US.*
Right now, Donald Trump and his administration are cruelly separating migrant children from their families and holding them in cages. The staff at these “shelters” are not allowed to touch distressed toddlers in need of comfort after enduring the trauma of being separated from their parents. This treatment is absolutely barbaric, but we won’t allow it to continue. On June 30, we’re rallying in Washington, D.C., and around the country to tell Donald Trump and his administration to stop separating kids from their parents! Join us on June 30 to send a clear message to Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress: Families Belong Together!
We will be creating posters so that you can rally together as V-Day and One Billion Rising, and find one another. Stay tuned for artwork and follow our social media channels: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.
In the meantime, spread the word and let’s get ready to RISE!
