MY NEIGHBOR MY KILLER

By Anne AGHION/ FRANCE-USA/ 2009/ 80 min

The process of the Gacaca courts, a citizen-based justice system that was put into place in Rwanda (Africa) after the 1994 genocide. Filmed over ten years, it makes us reflect on how people can live together after such a traumatic experience. Through the story and the words of the inhabitants of a small rural community, we see survivors and killers learn how to coexist.
