Photos of a Gacaca justice process in Rwanda

Gacaca Living togther again in Rwanda?

"Seminal..." —Variety

"The film captures quite precisely much of what is most compelling and unsettling about Rwanda's quest for justice after genocide - and, more: it captures the feel of Rwanda, the landscape, the texture of the place, the rhythm of speech and movement, the weird brilliance of colors amid the gloom of the spirit. The sense of being there came across so vividly that at times, while watching the film, I found myself having strong smell memories."
—Philip Gourevitch, Editor of "The Paris Review", long-time staff writer of "The New Yorker", and author of the award-winning bestseller, "We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families, Stories from Rwanda"

Film trilogy on the Gacaca in Rwanda

To reveal the complex process of achieving co-existence after killings of cataclysmic proportions, the final film in this trilogy on the Gacaca justice and reconstruction process in Rwanda focuses on the weekly pre-trial hearings leading up to the community-based Gacaca trials in the same rural hillside community that Aghion’s two previous films focused on.

This essential last chapter in the trilogy will be completed in early 2009, in time for special event screenings during the 15th year commemoration of the Rwandan genocide. Learn more.
