Synopsis

The Gacaca tribunals are an attempt to bring accountability and reconciliation to bear on the Rwandan genocide. But while the process has brought closure to some, it is far from perfect. One accused murderer has a number of relatives judging his case, while another simply refuses to admit any wrongdoing. Meanwhile a woman refuses to reconcile with the man who killed her husband - her brother-in-law. For no matter what the successes of the Gacacas are, some wounds are simply too deep to heal.
