Ruined November 24, 2010

As a civil war rages in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mama Nadi runs a canteen where any soldier can put down his weapon and spend an evening in the company of beautiful women -- for a price. But the good-time atmosphere of the brothel cannot hide the battles waged on the women who work there. This Pulitzer Prize-winning play is a hopeful, humorous and deeply-affecting portrait of a group of courageous women who are surviving in the midst of a civil war in Africa.
