  4. This report begins with Rwandans being interviewed at a grave site and follows with churches being accused of not showing a strong moral conscience, as well as denying any responsibility. An interview is featured with a Tai Chi professor, showing how he works to instill in the minds of Rwandans the 4 qualities of Tai Chi discipline: softness, humility, realism and patience. A close-up of a classroom follows, where Rwandans are learning self-discipline and self-control. It is believed that had the Rwandans taught self-control, the massacres would not have happened. The program focuses on Tai Chi training as a method to help heal the ills of the society and prevent future killing.

  4. "Sitting on a Volcano" is the first in a three-part series on Rwanda by independent reporters Daniele Lacourse and Yvan Patry. In this report, Lacourse and Patry trace the exodus of Hutus who fled Rwanda to take refuge in neighboring countries. The reporters discuss the difficulties of life in the refugee camps, focusing on camps in the Democratic Republic of Congo near Goma, where thousands are falling victim to daily violence and disease. UN officials Chris Janowski, Guy De Tousignant and Luc Andre Racineare are interviewed. The report also focuses on assurances by the Rwandan government that it is safe for refugees to return home. "Sitting on a Volcano" criticizes the international community for continuing to feed the killers in these refugee camps outside of Rwanda while failing to acknowledge grave human rights violations in Rwanda. The report concludes by making the case that until those responsible for the genocide are brought to justice, Rwanda cannot begin to heal itself.

  4. This video focuses on the murder of two Canadian missionaries, killed for having protested against corruption and human rights violations. The first of the two, Brother François Cardinal, worked at the controversial Rwanda College of Rambura , funded by the Canadian government and located in President Habyarimana's hometown. The report shows how Brother Cardinal was shot after charging that Canadian aid money was being diverted to the Rwandan president's advisors. The report also points out that Brother Cardinal's killers were never found. The second Canadian missionary featured on this video is Father Claude Simard, the only Canadian to have stayed in Rwanda during the genocide. Father Simard was murdered in 1994, after the genocidal regime had been overthrown by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). The report discusses how Father Simard risked his life to rescue Tutsis and speculates that his killers were Hutus acting to prevent Father Simard's testimony. However, the video goes on to reveal that Father Simard had made enemies within the current RPF regime by speaking out against reprisal killings against the Hutus. The investigation carried out by this team of journalists also raises some disturbing questions about Canada's own role in the Rwandan genocide.

  4. This video features Françoise Saunier, an attorney with Doctors Without Borders, interviewing François-Xavier Nsanzuwera, the Rwandan Chief Prosecutor, and Joseph Matata, a human rights activist in Rwanda. Both Nsanzuwera and Matata discuss their disillusionment with the lack of intervention on the part of the international community in the face of the Rwandan genocide. Both of these individuals also focus on how they took it upon themselves to gather evidence that could help bring people responsible for the genocide to justice. Saunier seeks to show how the UN has yet to come any closer on delivering the justice promised to the Rwandans and the world. While Saunier visits the United Nations in New York and in the Hague, Mr. Matata completes his report in Belgium. François Xavier conducts interviews in Rwandan prisons, making sure there is sufficient evidence to convict, prosecute and start trials. At the time of this report, Doctors Without Borders and 42 other agencies had been ordered to leave Rwanda for political bias. The report also shows the International Tribunal's announcement of the first eight indictments for genocide. The report cites that no arrests have been made, however, and trials for those accused of genocide-related crimes in Rwanda have yet to take place.

  4. The debate is taking place in Belgium in August 1991. The subject of the discussion is on the multiparty system. For a period of thirty years the Rwandan government operated under one party system (the Mouvement républicain national pour la démocratie et le développement [MRND]). On June 10th 1991 president Habyarimana declared a multiparty system. The focus in this debate is on the creation of a National Assembly, a process which was not provided in the constitution but reclaimed by opposition parties. In the debate there is a balance between Rwandan scholars and Belgian experts. The Habyarimana's government at that time of the debate was represented by Francois Ngarukiyintwari, Rwandan ambassador in Belgium.

  3. Original Language: Kinyarwanda
  4. The report begins with three people accused of genocide explaining that they were forced to commit their crimes. Their testimony is overlapped with footage of various atrocities. The camera then follows Madeleine, a Tutsi returning to Rwanda from France. The experience of the returning refugee is one of joy at being "back home" and one of sorrow upon learning who has died. Thérèse is another Tutsi who fled during the genocide and returns to find her home destroyed and her family dead. She confronts the sister of the man she believes led the attack against her family. The report then gives a brief history of Tutsi/Hutu animosity emphasizing the role of the Belgian colonial government and the Catholic Church. However, the report's main focus is on the role of the French government starting in 1975 which marks the first of several military pacts signed between the French and Habyarimana. Through a series of interviews and photos of signed documents the report builds a compelling case against the French. Mitterand, in particular, becomes quite involved in Rwanda's affairs and when the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) launches its first invasion in October 1990, the French are there to halt their advance. The French mission is called NORWA and it does not call for direct involvement in the conflict. But several eyewitnesses as well as official Rwandan documents point to a French presence on the frontlines. The report then shifts its focus to the testimony of Janvier Afrika who alerted authorities to the existence of an organization within the government called Network Zero. Network Zero is purported to have carried out political assassinations and to have overseen the development of highly incendiary propagandist newspapers like Kangura. The documentary also points to the speech by Leon Mugesera in November of 1992, which along with Nahimana's creation of Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) in 1993 helped set the tone for the genocide. The report continues with a series of interviews of people like Bagosora and Hutu who have found refuge in the safety zone provided by the French in Operation Turquoise. Everyone maintains their innocence and blames the violence on the population's violent reaction to Habyarimana's death. The report does point out that the violence in the south, in Butare, did not begin until two weeks after the president's death. The documentary ends on the theme of justice. The chief prosecutor of Kigali points out the difficulties in prosecuting such a large number of accused. Indeed almost everyone is a victim or a perpetrator of genocide. Conditions in the Kigali prison are terrible and the process of bringing people to trial is very slow. The final question is whether genocide in Africa bears as much weight as one in Europe.

  4. This video explores the extent of France's involvement in Rwanda and the degree to which it can be implicated in the events that lead to the genocide. It also attempts to explain why a European power would take such a strong interest in the affairs of such a small central African nation. The report begins by explaining that President Francois Mitterrand sent French troops into Rwanda, a country it had never colonized in October 1990 following the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) invasion. According to various officials, France wanted to maintain relations with a French-speaking Rwanda and feared the effects of an RPF-influenced government. The video traces the genesis of the RPF back to the refugees who fled Rwanda during the Hutu revolution in the early 1960's. Many of the Tutsi went to Uganda where they learned English and began planning their eventual return to their homeland. The report hypothesizes that the French worried that the United States overly influenced the RPF. The French accused Paul Kagame, the RPF leader, of being little more than a CIA product. Kagame was in fact invited to the states to receive military training. The report then explains that the French qualified the RPF invasion in 1990 as a terrorist act and sent French troops in to evacuate foreign expatriates. However, Panorama learned that among the French deployment there was a strong training contingency, intelligence experts and military advisors. The French maintained a military presence in Rwanda until the signing of the Arusha agreements in 1993. The report reflects on the fact that France provided more aid and development money to Rwanda during the Habyarimana regime than any other European power. However, since the new RPF government has taken power, France has all but abandoned this once favored nation. The report includes numerous interviews with government officials including President Mitterrand's son, Jean-Christophe Mitterrand, Presidential Adviser on African Affairs from 1988 to 1992. Jean Carbonare who lead the International Human Rights Commission mission to Rwanda in 1993 and was President of "Operation Survie" immediately following the genocide, is quoted as saying "I am very critical of my country before, during and after the genocide. There is a great deal of suspicion about the delivery of arms. You can't on one hand give arms to those responsible for genocide and then say we take pity on the Rwandan people, we'll give you humanitarian aid. I think this is a question of consistency. I'm very unhappy, as a Frenchman, to see my country not have that consistency."

But he refused to stand trial in Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) court he accused to be judge and jury. Bagosora argued that the security council caused all problems in Rwanda by imposing an arm embargo on the Forces Rwandaises de Défense (FAR) army. Bagosora also accused the international community for conspiracy by collaborating with the Tutsi minority group. Bagosora denies accusation for having said in Arusha that he was going to prepare an apocalypse if the Arusha Peace agreement was going to be implemented.

  4. "A psychological search into the human soul. Lindsey Hilsum had launched a full investigation reaching the core of evil. Her analysis was that the core of Rwanda was rotten and even the church which was supposed to be the "moral authority, the most powerful institution in the land had a rotten center."
  5. "You haven't yet discovered man, neither in his greatness nor in his misery," Ntezimana, a theologian, told Lindsey Hilsum. His theory was that the missionaries had a historical responsibility. They brought the Christian revelation, which reinforced the traditional attitude of naiveté. It was easy not to question the teachings of churches. Everything the priest said was taken as truth. That behavior was the prelude to genocide. The church in this search for truth was accused of encouraging the evil that took root in the hearts of the Rwandans. Orders were blindly carried out. Many churches are under investigation for their participation in the killings. Some nuns and priests fled to Zaire. Others have adopted the denial attitude, few Catholic leaders spoke out during genocide, and many were helpless witnesses to the carnage.
  6. Hilsum goes deeply into the problem, questioning herself and her actions during the genocide. Hilsum was present at the time of the massacres and found it hard to help anyone because "she wasn't brave enough, or strong enough to protect them." The important thing is not to pass judgment on the people but to investigate the reason that lead to the madness.
