There was a bee in the office. It was epic.

Recommen-doc
One recent weekend afternoon I checked out of life and into the tube to watch an incredibly moving, distressing documentary called The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo.
A female filmmaker travelled to the Congo to chronicle the use of women as "tactics of war;" the brutal, violent, epidemic of rape by soldiers from every front. To a soundtrack by Kronos Quartet, she interviewed women, medical professionals and activities. The victims ranged in age from toddlers to 80 years old.
I did the Google thing afterward, and turned up this article, just days old from Reuters, about the rape of 20 female inmates by rioting Congolese prisoners.
