2014 marks that twenty years have gone since the atrocities that took place in Rwanda, which saw the genocide of an estimated million people by government backed Hutu militia. Following the still unexplained assassination of dictator Juvénal Habyarimana, tensions worsened between the Hutu and Tutsi communities, resulting in the mass murder of around 70% of the Tutsi population. Two decades later, the scars of the massacre still run deep, with tensions between the two communities still while many still dwell in the same villages.

Augustin, no stranger to foreign locales with a history of bloodshed, has captured the beginnings of a society on the mend. A unique reconciliation programme sees the villagers take joint ownership of a cow (Rwanda's most valued possession) in order to facilitate co-operation between individuals and to promote a renewed sense of unity for the once divided nation."Unforgiven"is a deeply meditative look at the limits of forgiveness through the eyes of victims of the attack, but also the guilt which neighbouring perpetrators carry from the horrors they once committed.

SWEDISH
Hur pratar man med den som mördade ens systrar, bröder och föräldrar? I"Unforgiven: Rwanda"konfronteras offer och förövare för det blodiga inbördeskriget i Rwanda, där hutu-milisen mördade över 800 000 tutsier. Det är konfliktfyllt och skuldtyngt men här finns också ett gryende hopp om förlåtelse, försoning och nationens läkning.
