A history of the Rwandan genocide in which the Hutu Racial extremists the Interahamwe systematically slaughtered the Tutsi people and non-racist Hutu's. Told through documentary evidence and interviews with every major figure involved it documents the incredible brutality but also the kindness and heroism of those involved. A gruesome, grotesque and deeply powerful documentary which tells of the horrors of the events and of the reaction to mass murder by each major Western government. To turn away, to not care or to pull support from them. On a personal note I have taken the time to do this as no documentary has meant more to me than this and as Darfur rages on its message has never been more important. For information on Darfur may I recommend and urge you to read "The Death and Rape of Darfur" in the British Journal Of Criminology
