The 2026 PAFF Opening Night film. PAFF pass holders and MUGANGA, THE ONE WHO TREATS ticket holders are invited to an opening-night reception in the AFS Cinema lobby after the screening.
Denis Mukwege, a Congolese doctor and future Nobel Peace Prize laureate, treats — at the risk of his life — thousands of women who are victims of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. His encounter with Guy Cadière, a Belgian surgeon, will breathe new life into his mission. Based on a true story.
