Unwatchable: Masika tells her story

The film was inspired by Masika, a middle class business woman who was happily married with 4 children. In 1998 her family were attacked by an armed group.

The Unwatchable campaign aims to stop the trade in Conflict Minerals in the Democratic republic of Congo. These minerals fund militias who use rape as a weapon of war. Over 400,000 men, women and children where raped in the last year. We have launched a petition to pressure both mobile phone manufacturers and the EU to have stricter controls on supply chains of these minerals which will have a direct effect on the ground. You can find out more, sign the petition or watch the film at UNWATCHABLE.CC

*Please note the film itself is rated by the BBFC as only suitable for viewers over 18 and contains strong disturbing sexual violence. If you are sensitive to issues of rape or are easily offended we'd suggest you not watch it.

Unwatchable was made by DarkFibre and the Behind the scenes footage was produced by Fat Rat Films.

@lightaddicted

Do you really think that women are the sole victims of this kind of horror? Do you really think that men are the sole perpetrators?

[TheNeria12]

this is fucking absolutely ridiculousness why would someone do that? how can you live knowing you basically ended a womens life. I swear this is something i couldn't live with, she is very strong and i pray for her. I'm pretty sure it's stories like this all around but damn.

@CheKudaran money or not, this is a story we can't consider fake. We consumers do not know what's behind our products, but who knows is surely burning out his soul, until they will all die among the pain they created.

[lightaddicted]

men think they can do anything with their ridiculous penis hanging around. bastards, you know you can't sleep at night, you know there's neither the night waiting for you, cause when you practice violence, the earth is naturaly revolting against you. we women suffer, but we made you, we carry the light and the fire. you carry just that stupid thing. Why don't you start your practice by raping your own mother, bastard?

Where is the scar on her face? I think she is making things up for money.
