Lumo, a documentary that profiles a fistula patient at HEAL Africa and tells the story of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, has continually been recognized as an outstanding film. It was well received at the Human Rights Watch Festival in London and made its debut in the United States in North Carolina. It was also featured at the Human Rights Watch Festival in New York City.

More recently, Lumo was presented a bronze medal in the documentary category at the Student Academy Awards, the most prestigious award program for student filmmakers. Past award winners include Spike Lee (He Got Game and Love and Basketball) and Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump and The Polar Express). This fall, Lumo will debut on PBS as part of the Point of View series. HEAL Africa is excited about all of the publicity and awareness the film is raising concerning sexual violence and the political situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
