7PM Mama Luka Comes Home
“Missionary Helen Roseveare was a missionary who, over 25 years ago, pioneered vital medical work in the area of the Congo which became Zaire. She was beaten, raped, and imprisoned by rebels who ravaged the country after it gained its independence in 1964. 25 years later, in 1989, she revisited the country in an act of forgiveness. This film documents that journey”
