John Prendergast, founder of Enough, demigod of the movement, writes about A Thousand Sisters….
“Congo is usually portrayed as hopeless and its women as victims. Lisa Shannon shines a spotlight on the hope that emanates so stubbornly from this complex country, primarily through her loving portrayal of her Congolese sisters. Instead of victims, these women are determined survivors, three-dimensional human beings who deserve our respect and solidarity.” - John Prendergast, Co-Founder of Enough and co-author with Don Cheadle of Not on Our Watch and The Enough Moment.
