It is Rwanda. The spoken parts are from a PBS Frontline special called "Ghosts of Rwanda." You can find the transcript pretty easily. I never realized how brilliant the use of the two voices really is. It's the victim herself speaking her own language with effects in the background and the interpreter speaking in the foreground.

Subscribed, and I do not expect the same from you.

Transcript "Ghosts of Rwanda"

VALENTINA IRIBAGIZA, Tutsi Schoolgirl: [through interpreter]

"Then, when the war began, people changed. One day across the valley, we saw houses burning and people fleeing from their homes."

"I was a young girl. My parents thought the church was safe because no one would be killed in a church. When we arrived, I could see the older people were very sad and upset. Everybody was scared, but nobody knew what was going to happen."

"I saw the soldiers come in, and they started shooting and shooting. All we had to defend ourselves were rocks. And our local governor, Gacumbizi, came in and stood in front of us. Gacumbizi said that everyone should know what they were there for. He said that all those who were there should be killed, that no one should survive."

"Then they started killing, hacking with their machetes. They kept doing it, and I was hiding under dead people. They didn't kill me. Because of the blood covering me, they thought they had killed me."

[intuitiveexplorer]

"It was very late, around 2:00 AM, when the Interahamwe came back. One of them stepped on my head. He was shaking me with his foot to see if I was alive. He said, "This thing is dead," and so they left. I lived among the dead for a long time. At night, the dogs would come to eat the bodies. Once a dog was eating someone next to me. I threw something at the dog and he ran away. I hid in a small room. That's where I stayed and slept for 43 days."

[intuitiveexplorer]

"I felt a lot of pain, a lot of pain, because my fingers had been chopped off. And my head had been cut. I was very sad because my family was all dead. I was waiting to die myself. I didn't think I was going to survive."

[Gizmoenut]

Scary.. dumb idea to listen to this at night.
