The dead are alive : eyewitness in Rwanda
This behind the scenes documentary is based on the diary kept by Belgian journalist, Els De Temmermann. Beginning on April 6th, 1994, the film covers a period of five months in which Els witnessed the greatest human tragedy of the last 25 years : a carefully planned and brutally executed genocide of one million people. Tracking the story from the death of the Rwandan president to the establishment of the sprawling refugee camps, this film weaves the threads of events into a coherent picture of horror on an almost unimaginable scale. Who were the architects of the genocide? What are the powers at play? And what role did the international community, the church and the press play?
