Rwanda : the silence of words (2022): Cast

This documentary sensitively presents the first-time testimonies of Prisca, Marie-Jeanne, and Concessa, three Tutsi women recounting their experiences during the Rwandan genocide and the subsequent years. The film explores their daily lives both during the horrific events and within the refugee camps of Murambi and Nyarushishi. It also addresses the complex and controversial role of French soldiers of Opération Turquoise, who were mandated to provide protection while facing accusations of failing to prevent violence. The women filed complaints with the French justice system in 2004 and 2012 regarding alleged abuses, but the investigation remains unresolved.
