FILM EVENING - SOMETIMES IN APRIL
Monday 11 January 2010 at 7.45pm
In April 1994, one of the most heinous genocides in world history began in the African nation of Rwanda. Over the course of 100 days, close to one million people were killed in a terrifying purge by Hutu nationalists against their Tutsi countrymen. This is the story of two Hutu brothers - one in the military, one a radio personality - whose relationship and private lives were forever changed in the midst of the genocide. The film was shot in Rwanda, in the locations where the real life events took place.
The film depicts the attitudes and circumstances leading up to the outbreak of brutal violence, the intertwining stories of people struggling to survive the Rwandan genocide of 1994, and the aftermath as the people try to find justice and reconciliation.
The genocide Museum in Kigali shows the horrors of this genocide, plus the other ethnic cleansing atrocities that have gone since the Holocaust, 2010 being the 65th year since the liberation of Auschwitz.
