| Blurb: | “Rwanda Again” is a documentary produced by Fabrica & RSI Radio Televisione Svizzera. It tells the story of survival and remembrance as a means for healing the wounds of Genocide. This film focuses on life in five key locations where these atrocities were perpetrated; an ore mine, sugarcane field, fishing lake, a cattle slaughterhouse and farms where life continues over grounds stained by violence and brutality. It is a story of work and healing, of a people who have survived the ruins of genocide and must rebuild what they once had and what they must have; food, shelter, liberty and trust for fellow humans. DIRECTOR'S NOTES We spent at least seven days with each group we filmed. It was important that our characters were comfortable with our presence, equipment and agenda and this was achieved through spending time and building relationships. The value for both parties in this documentary is the relationships that are created as a result of the project. Directed by Lawrence Blankenbyl Story by Phoebe Mutetsi |
