Rape for Who I Am

This film penetrates the heart like a sharp knife. Black South Afican women are attacked and raped because they are lesbian. There is no use in going to the police, they are simply outlawed. Slowly, women are starting to work together in order to find protection against this indescribable violence. Lovinsa Kavuma, a Ugandan-born British filmmaker, completed her BA honors film degree at the prestigious London College of Printing.
