The Rwandan genocide of 1994 has spawned a number of feature films, but Anne Aghion's remarkable documentary about the 'Gacaca' community tribunals is the most calmly moving guide yet to the emotional landscape of those who were left behind.

While 'My Neighbor, My Killer' should be applauded for avoiding the call to sensationalism, its beaten-down, nearly toneless low key grows repetitious. Go to Full Review Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope 12/03/2009

01/07/2010 The Gacaca tribunals are the legal process where the victims confront the accused in open forum in front of the village; some of the stories are more compelling than others, but it was powerful to see everyday folks making their cases instead of polished lawyers. This process is more about people trying to reconcile the past brutality--seems impossible, but I hope it helps. See more Read all reviews
