The Diary of Immaculee
ImmaculÃ©e Ilibagiza grew up in a country she loved,  surrounded by a family she cherished. But in 1994 her idyllic world was  ripped apart as Rwanda descended into a bloody genocide. Her family was  brutally murdered during a killing spree that lasted three months and  claimed the lives of nearly a million Rwandans. Miraculously, ImmaculÃ©e survived the slaughter. For 91 days, she and seven  other women huddled silently together in the cramped bathroom of a local  pastor's home while hundreds of machete-wielding killers hunted for them. .  . . Now, the award-winning and three-time Academy AwardÂ®-nominated documentary  film producer Steve Kalafer (More, Curtain Call, Bottom of the Ninth, Price  of Freedom, Going Home, and Sister Rose's Passion) brings together the same  creative and production team for their most challenging and powerful  cinematic journey.   The Diary of ImmaculÃ©e reveals the horrific, yet inspiring story of a  remarkable woman's experiences in the midst of one of history's most tragic  events. ImmaculÃ©e Ilibagiza, and others who were there, will tell you what  happened . . . and you shall never forget it. With powerful and emotional  on-camera appearances from the good Samaritans who kept ImmaculÃ©e alive in  Rwanda, to inspirational personalities such as Dr. Wayne W. Dyer and Carl  Wilkens, this amazing story of a journey through the darkness of holocaust  will touch your heart and soul. This is a documentary that will take you to a place where horror and hope  and hatred and love lived side by side, clasping hands and breathing the  same air. With unwavering faith and courage, one young woman faced the  threat of unspeakable acts; endured incomparable despair; and quietly,  graciously, and bravely came through the living hell of holocaust searching  for safety, peace, and an everlasting Heaven.  The Diary of ImmaculÃ©e is a film that abounds with drama and compassion .  . . and makes us all realize that heroes and heroines will always walk  among us.
