Chronicle of a Genocide Foretold - Part 1: Blood Was Flowing Like a River

Chronicle of a Genocide Foretold - Part 1: Blood Was Flowing Like a River

| 1 h 3 min

The cornerstone of The Rwanda Series, this volume in three parts recounts a horrifying crime that could have been prevented by the international community and international law. Shot over three years, Chronicle of a Genocide Foretold follows several Rwandans before, during and after the genocide. Part 1 explores the genesis of the genocide in two key regions of Rwanda, Kibuye and the Bugesera, where "blood was flowing like a river" and "Rwandans will never again be the same."
