This presentation will feature new works from WITNESS 's partner organizations around the world, including RISE: Revolutionary Women Re-Envisioning Afghanistan, Behind the Labels: Garment Workers on U.S. Saipan, Books Not Bars on the prison industry in the U.S., and a special presentation of the 45m documentary Operation Fine Girl: Rape Used as a Weapon of War in Sierra Leone. Directed and produced by Lilibet Foster, who worked with Sierra Leonean activist and WITNESS partner Binta Mansaray, Operation Fine Girl investigates the strategic use of rape against women during the decade long war in Sierra Leone. Told through the personal stories of three young girls who were abducted to be "rebel wives" and sex slaves, the film is an intimate story about some of the women the war has affected.
