Rwanda Again is the latest documentary produced by Fabrica & RSI. It tells the story of survival and remembrance as a means for healing the wounds of Genocide. This film focuses on life in five key locations where these atrocities were perpetrated – an ore mine, sugarcane field, fishing lake, a cattle slaughterhouse and farms where life continues over grounds stained by violence and brutality.

A story of work and healing; of a people who have survived the ruins of genocide and must rebuild what they once had and what they must have; food, shelter, liberty and trust for fellow human beings. –fabrica.it
