Abstract: "Two years [after the Gacaca tribunals] ... close to 16,000 [of these genocide] suspects, are released across the country. Having confessed to their appalling crimes, and served the maximum sentence the tribunals would eventually impose, killers are sent home to plow fields and fetch water alongside the people they victimized. In Rwanda we say-- tracks the effect of one suspect's return to a hillside hamlet. While the government's message of a 'united Rwandan family' permeates the language of the community, violence seems to lurk just below the surface. What unfolds, however, is astonishing. Little by little, neighbors - killer and victim - begin to talk, first ot the camera, and then to each other."--Container.
