This documentary, Rwanda Alive: Those Who Listen,
was filmed on the 10th year commemoration of the Rwandan genocide, and brings
us into the life of a young survivor named Ingrid.
Ingrid,
now 17, takes us through her painful past, describing how she miraculously escaped
the killing mobs, and how she envisions the future for herself and her country.
She and her classmates from Kigali participate in a series of videoconferences
with American students, and together with their peers, resolve not to ever let
genocide happen again.
Those Who Listen is a tale of resilience, courage, and hope. Hope
that Genocide can be avoided by future generations, and that Rwanda - and Ingrid-
can build a more positive future for themselves.
Special Features:
- Rwanda Return - Follow up on Ingrid two years following the documentary
to see where she is and the impact of the videoconference
