Flores de Ruanda


Rwanda, Spain 2008; 24 min.
Director: David Muñoz
Production: Hibrida

Rwanda today. 14 years after the Rwandan genocide of 1994, that took away the lives of more than 800,000 people. What's the current situation of the people of Rwanda? What feelings prevail in the hearts of the victims of the Rwanda genocide? Can genocide victims and killers live together? What's the importance of education in a post-genocide society? Could films become a way of educating the people of Rwanda, and specially Rwandan children? Can a film festival make a difference? May the history of the Rwandan genocide happen again? Who should act when a genocide is taking place? Do we, as individuals, have any responsibility of stopping a genocide?
Flores de Ruanda
