Saturday at 6 p.m: The Day God Walked Away

The movie follows the hallowing struggle for survival of a Tutsi woman during the Rwandan genocide of 1994.

Much to his credit, first-time writer director Philippe van  Leeuw has slasher film with Rwandan pop singer Ruth Nirere in an astonishingly physical turn as a house maid hiding in the jungle and barely eluding her Hutu attackers.

Wednesday 6 p.m: Keepers of Memory
Through eyewitness accounts and gripping footage, director/producer Eric Kabera takes the viewer on an emotional journey into the 1994 Rwanda genocide against the Tutsi, its survivors, and the memorials created in the victims’ honour.

The 54 minutes film focuses on the personal accounts of men and women who watch over the sacred burial sites keeping the memories alive for future generations.
