Rwanda: Le Silence Des Mots is a compelling documentary directed by Michaël Sztanke and featuring the poignant presence of Gaël Faye and co-producer Didacienne Nibagwire. This powerful film tells the stories of three Rwandan women who bravely break their silence after enduring the trauma of the genocide against the Tutsi in April 1994, which devastated their families. They faced unimaginable hardships, including refuge in camps controlled by French soldiers during Operation Turquoise, accusing some of these soldiers of heinous acts.

With a shared desire to address issues of justice and memory, Michaël Sztanke and Gaël Faye crafted this film as a tribute to the bravery of these survivors. As Gaël Faye poignantly states, “The history of a genocide never stops being written, and the witnesses who survived the disaster sometimes dare to recount stories that remain as ruins, tales where words become silences.” Michaël Sztanke emphasizes that this endeavor is not about investigating the army or questioning the veracity of their accounts, which are undoubtedly supported by their judicial pursuits.

Join us in this profound exploration of resilience and remembrance. Karibu! 🎥
