Rwanda – Life after the genocide | DW Documentary

The trauma of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda is stilled etched in the lives of survivors. A Rwandan organization uses creativity to soothe the psychological wounds and ensure that history does not repeat itself.

31-year-old Amani survived the genocide as a child. In one of the poorer districts of the Rwandan capital Kigali, he has founded an organization that works with children and their parents. One of its aims is to use art to overcome the trauma still felt by this society to this day. Amani is aware of the role played by social inequalities and the prejudices between Tutsi and Hutu in the massacres that took place in the small African country between April and July 1994, resulting in up to one million deaths. Despite the government’s national reconciliation policy, Amani is convinced that his work and that of his fellow campaigners is necessary to reduce aggression and a desire for revenge among Rwandans.
