Sometimes In April

A dramatisation of the brutal events that befell the citizens of Rwanda in April 1994. Director Raoul Peck shot the bulk of the picture in Rwanda, adding an incredible feeling of poignancy to his film by revisiting many of the sites where the unthinkable acts of genocide occurred. Peck focuses his cameras on two Hutu brothers, a military man and a DJ. The Hutu's were responsible for the estimated 800,000 deaths of their Tutsi countrymen during this period; the violence was sparked when Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana also a Hutu, was killed after his plane was shot down on April 6th. As the gruesome events unfold, the two brothers lives are immeasurably changed in ways they never thought possible.

  Sometimes in April
  
  Worthwhile watching and learning but it can only cover some aspects of this very complicated situation.

  Interesting and well made
  
  A well-made fillm, harrowing to watch at times. More graphic than Hotel Rwanda where the violence was mostly implied rather than shown.
  
  As expected, ... read more »
