Ghosts Of Rwanda (11/12)

A history of the Rwandan genocide in which the Hutu Racial extremists the Interahamwe systematically slaughtered the Tutsi people and non-racist Hutu's. Told through documentary evidence and interviews with every major figure involved it documents the incredible brutality but also the kindness and heroism of those involved.
A gruesome, grotesque and deeply powerful documentary which tells of the horrors of the events and of the reaction to mass murder by each major Western government. To turn away, to not care or to pull support from them.
On a personal note I have taken the time to do this as no documentary has meant more to me than this and as Darfur rages on its message has never been more important.
For information on Darfur may I recommend and urge you to read "The Death and Rape of Darfur" in the British Journal Of Criminology

No one deserves to die

Black, White, Latin, Asian of any religion

Sorry my friend, but go back, view history. It is what it is: Belgium setting up a false tribal distinction to divide and conquer, false tribal tensions escalate when Belgium has plundered all it can, the US Administration at the time, in response to Belgium's embarassment obstructed preventative AND retaliatory action to prevent the killing, Sec. Christopher caught off record saying, "Let them die as long as our kids don't" You proceed from a false assumption.

Your problem is your to white...

I respect the guy that bit it in the car........

Why cant white people understand that governments take care of business, they dont save people. Welcome to the brutal 20th century..

I will pray for these people, and those who have died... And all there dreams that died with them..

" in each one of us theres such a potential for good and such a potential for evil" that line sums up everything not just in the rwanda genocide but life in general.. powerful words.

@G1tt7 We're forgetting about the rapists and murderers that carried out the genocide....

Yo mothball: when was Sec. Christopher caught saying this? I've looked it up but I haven't found any such thing. You're either lying or a moron.
