O Brasil é ruim em vários aspectos, mas não tem a merda da guerra
Does anyone know the name of the song in the intro
Beautiful work Sam. I was there in the summer of '94 working as cameraman for a Greek tv network. For sure I cry more than you😊.
Thank you for sharing through this excellent film – love to Rwanda and a brighter future for you all ❤
Kudos to the wise guy ishimwe Samuel for making such thoughtful documentary seeking only the truth rather than showing sides ….you are a wise guy and very talented you should consider running for president..you have my vote in advance.🫡
What a harrowing, thoughtful, captivating & beautiful masterpiece- clearly a love letter to your parents, community & country. Well done Samuel. I pray for Rwanda to truly heal & have peace
Germany has a lot to answer for.
So proud of you Samuel. Our mother always told about your mom Julienne she used to regret her a lot and told us how she was a very kind and lovable human. So sorry you will never know her and your dad. But glad to see where you are up to now. Hope your brother Daniel is doing great as well.
❤❤❤
A very well-done documentary. Thank you for all the effort and research you put into the making of it. I'm sorry for the loss of your parents and other family members during the genocide. God Bless you and yours.
I'm a Ghanaian and I felt sad watching this.This documentary is a masterpiece.Much love to everyone from Rwanda.
All the white people crying in the comments lol it's like ya'll really believe you're are the most perfect race on earth smh it's actually the opposite and besides that no human being is perfect so that would include white people too !!!
Greed of the ruling elite of Germany, Belgium – distract the people of Rwanda by creating rivals, enemies, so the exploitation of the country can continue uninterrupted.
What happened to felicien kabuga ? The main financier .
The hate among Africans is just so bad… Love each other for prosperity 😢
This film sheds light on Rwanda 's dark past. At least it helps demystify the wrong narrative that people of Rwanda are different. It's intentionally invented by colonialism for it's own interests.
They categorized people and decided which ones to love more. Wickedness.
This is such a well thought out production, thank you for sharing your story and perspective on how we can reclaim our history.
The link to the Germans is very instructive and it is difficult not to link the Germans with a tendency to genocide.
Germans were responsible for the genocide of the Herero and Nama people of present day Namibia.
Germans were responsible for genocide of the Jews.
Genocide happened in Rwanda, a former German colony.
Germans are even today supporting the genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis.
Will they never learn?
German people, sins of your fathers are not passed onto you.
Please stop passing the sins of your parents onto the Palestinians. 🇿🇦
Great documentary i hope the conversations will continue to help survivors and the whole african countries unfortunately history reapeat itself when we so not learn from past mistakes
How do you expect to address your history by stocking and profiting from colonial loot? Get serious!!
A lot of victimhood being peddled here. Belgians didn’t rise against Rwandans. Rwandans did. I really don’t like the way we Africans are conditioned to think that our woes are not of our own making. We’re told to intellectualize everything from a Hegelian approach to prove that our histories are a progress from the past courtesy of some malignant arrogance of our colonial masters. I think this type of documentaries seek to remove agency from the perpetrators and make it look like some invisible hand from the past committed the atrocities.
Non anglophones are blessed ❤
What's the name of the intro song??😮
By denying they are responsible for their own actions is denying them agency which ironically is very racist
Does anyone know the name of the opening song by Sophie
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm in Kigali, this is indeed a good documentary, I think from now on people should learn how to live together in harmony, love, united and peacefully, despite their differences
