Description
Raoul Peck's searing docudrama is one of a handful of recent films to portray the Rwandan genocide of 1994, but Peck's is the first to be shot in Rwanda with local actors and crew. Told in a series of flashbacks, the film stars Idris Elba as Augustin Muganza, a middle-class Hutu with a Tutsi wife. Initially complicit in the bloodshed that goes on around him, Augustin and his family weather turbulent events in a desperate campaign to survive. Photographed with an unflinching eye, Peck's film never relinquishes its African perspective on one of the most chilling events of the 20th century.
Raoul Peck---Rwanda---2005---140 mins.
