SOMETIMES IN APRIL (2006)

RAOUL PECK

Plot

An ex-Hutu army officer, sentenced to death during the Rwandan genocide for his moderation and marriage to a Tutsi, tells his tragic tale, 10 years own, from the vantage point of his hate-inciting brother's trial for his part in the events. With unflinching flashbacks we watch in horror as events unfold, the mass murders, rapes and the bodies. Sometimes in April also reflects beyond merely the horror itself and wonders, with justifiable accusation, at the arms selling duplicity and irresponsibility of supposedly more "enlightened" nations.
