Netflix has released the trailer for City of Joy, directed by first-time director Madeleine Gavin, that follows the first class of women at a revolutionary leadership center in eastern Congo called City of Joy. The documentary will launch globally on Netflix on September 7, 2018.

City of Joy follows the unlikely friendship that develops between Congolese doctor Dr. Denis Mukwege (2016 Nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize), The Vagina Monologues playwright Eve Ensler, and a charismatic Congolese human rights activist who join forces to create a safe haven for women survivors in the middle of violence-torn Eastern Congo.
