In the Ukhiya refugee camp located in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, the scars of the ongoing genocide in Myanmar are visible on each and every face of the stateless Rohingya refugees that have been displaced there. This documentary chronicles the recent and previous history of a conflict that has gone on for centuries, with explosive new testimony regarding the war crimes inflicted upon the Rohingya people. The documentary is an extensive historical retelling of a fractured and silenced past, with exposure to a horrifying yet hopeful present, and a special look at the youth that represent the Rohingya's unpredictable future. "Blossoms from Ash" follows three young refugee children, each of whom has lost everything in the flight, as they struggle to balance education, celebration, and survival.

Winner of the Sakharov Prize 2014, Doctor Mukwege is internationally known as the man who mends thousands of women who have been raped during the 20 years of conflicts in the East of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, one of the poorest countries on the planet, despite its extremely rich sub-soil. His endless struggle to put an end to these atrocities and denounce the impunity enjoyed by the perpetrators is not welcome. At the end of 2012, the Doctor was the target of another attempt on his life, which he miraculously survived. Threatened with death, this doctor with an exceptional destiny now lives cloistered in his hospital in Bukavu under the protection of the United Nation peacekeepers. But he is no longer alone in his struggle. The women to whom he has restored physical integrity and dignity, stand beside him, true activists for peace, hungry for justice.
