2009 PULITZER PRIZE Winner For Drama

Mama Nadi, the definitive unlikely heroine, is a shrewd businesswoman and apolitical opportunist in an African land torn apart by civil war. She runs a makeshift oasis in the Ituri rain forest serving miners, government-backed militia, and their opposing rebel forces, while simultaneously saving, protecting, and exploiting the women under her watchful eye.
