Libya: Unspeakable Crime

In the shadow of an anonymous room, a man painfully utters fragments of words. Words that speak about an ancient, shameful, overwhelming wound: a rape, committed by soldiers during the 2011 war. Through his words, and those of other men who finally dare to speak after years of silence, the extent of mass male rape gradually resurfaces.
