Fifty years after the Holocaust, the world allowed another genocide to occur. In April 1994, the international community, including the United States, sat by and watched as 800,000 people [mostly Tutsi] were massacred. Today, Rwanda remains torn by ethnic killings. This three-part documentary features film diaries and commentary from Rwandan survivors and activists (including André Sibomana, priest and journalist), a Belgian UN peacekeeper, and Alison Des Forges, historian.
