My God, Rwanda! Whenever I read orwatch on th atrocities that happened there, I'm deeply lost on how human can do that and come t ask myself about the human being. I'm glad 4 this guy to find his mum after so long and if there is something

I respect my people, the african people, it's this wonderful ability to forgive no matter what happens...

Again, it's sad that africans are not valued as human beings, but we have to stop on relying on others and should consider inter-african collaboration.

JB Rutagarama is a lier. The story in the documentary is different from his true experiences during the genocide. His father is not an extremist at all. The anger of JB is that his father left his mother. But please do not call him a extremist for that. If you want to be a famous film maker, do not pretend to make true movies on wrong stories. Lies will not take you any where man.

The movie is called "Back Home" and is being released in London August 29, 2007. I'm also planning to see the new movie "Shake Hands with the Devil (2007)."

The most important thing is what have we learnt from this happening.

Nothings is the answer as we continue to salughter one another globally for nothing and no reason at all.
