This is the first dramatic feature film conceived and produced by Rwandans: a telling of the 1994 genocide that expands the common victim/perpetrator narrative to illuminate the complex fabric of life during the tragic event. The film interweaves six stories based on true accounts —a Tutsi/Hutu couple, a small child, a soldier, a pair of teenage lovebirds, a priest, and an Imam— as they are affected by the Muslim leadership of the time. Little is known about how that leader forbade Muslims from participating in the killing of the Tutsi. As the country became a slaughterhouse, mosques became places of refuge where Muslims and Christians, Hutus and Tutsis came together to protect each other.
