Rwanda / Color / status : completed / Kinyarwanda
Rwanda, 2012. In the years following the Genocide against the Tutsi, community-led trials for justice and reconciliation continue across the country. Vénéranda, a survivor, leads dialogue between victims and the families of perpetrators, helping others rebuild their lives and look towards the future. But when she learns of her daughter’s unexpected pregnancy, she is forced to confront the limits of her own convictions.
Marie-Clémentine Dusabejambo’s debut feature announces a distinctive new voice, its formal precision and deeply human sensibility shaping a portrait of women reconciling, as they confront the limits of justice, the question of forgiveness, and their intergenerational impact.
