Gaël Faye and Michaël Sztanke tell in a documentary film the stories of three Rwandan women scarred by the genocide perpetrated against the Tutsi in April 1994. They film the testimonies of these women who denounce the crimes of French soldiers. Facing the camera, they confront the past and break the silence.
They are three. Three brave women who have suffered so much. Three survivors who recount the horror of the genocide perpetrated against the Tutsis in Rwanda in 1994, and who also break the silence to denounce other crimes face to face: those of the French soldiers supposed to protect them.
Stories that freeze the blood and from which no viewer will come out unscathed. In 2004 and 2012, these three women who are named Marie-Jeanne, Concessa and Prisca filed a complaint against X for rape. While waiting for justice to be done to them in France, they testify in a poignant documentary.
Co-signed by our two guests: the writer and singer Gael Faye and the writer and director Michael Sztanke the documentary film “Rwanda, the silence of words” is broadcast this Saturday at 6:35 p.m. on the Franco-German channel ARTE. It is also available on the internet, on the arte.tv site.
