JOIN US & STAY TUNED
In 1994, approximately over 1 million people were killed in the Rwanda Genocide against the Tutsi. In this film, we turn towards facing the truth as part of the collective healing process.
Let’s See Labs collected stories from survivors and perpetrators who chose the path of reconciliation and forgiveness. We bring you these stories in a film as they engage the world in what it looks like to reckon with the raw traumatic truths of what happened, leading us through the discomfort of acceptance and into the liberation of reconciliation.
Hyppolite Ntigurirwa’s performing arts serves as a grounding foundation that roots these stories in the pathway towards unification, love, and peace.
