Gacaca, Living Together Again in Rwanda?

2002 55m Documentary List
Tomatometer 1 Reviews Popcornmeter 0 Ratings
In 1994, more than 800,000 people are killed in the 100-day Rwandan genocide. Years later, the country established the Gacaca Tribunals, citizen-led public hearings that allow victims and their families an opportunity to face accused killers in an effort towards discovery, justice and, ideally, reconciliation. Interviews with those who experienced genocide first-hand, as well as some who perpetrated it, provide an intimate portrait of the tragedy in Rwanda.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Despite the many horrific tales (one woman remembers the machete-wielding troops calmly chopping people down like banana trees), the video is moving mainly for its portrait of a people trying to meet subhuman cruelty with superhuman forgiveness.
