Au Rwanda on dit... La famille qui ne parle pas meurt
Anne Aghion
2004 - 54 min - DV Cam - Couleur - France

In a profound testament to the liberating power of speech, award-winning filmmaker Anne Aghion's "In Rwanda we say...The family that does not speak dies" ventures to a rural Rwandan village, just as the government is releasing close to 16,000 Hutus prisoners accused of horrific genocidal crimes.
Now, in a place where daily existence depends on cooperation, survivors of the 1994 attempt to eradicate the Tutsi minority must live side-by-side with their assailants.
Fear and violence lurk just beneath the surface, but, as the camera rolls, the people of this tiny hamlet begin a remarkable dialogue, a possible first step toward reconciliation.
