Pushing the Elephant plot

"Pushing the Elephant tells the extraordinary story of a mother and daughter reunited after a decade separated by civil war."

Like many Banyamulenge Tutsis in the war-torn Congo, Rose Mapendo ended up in a concentration camp with her children. Every night the guards executed a few people indiscriminately, including her husband who came to visit his family at the camp. However, Rose managed to escape their massacres - at a terrible cost, that is - and she has lived in the United States for ten years.
