My Neighbor My Killer |
DVD |
2009 |
Color |
Official Selection - 2009 Cannes Film Festival When peace comes, how do you make it right again? An epic emotional journey in search of coexistence in Rwanda. Could you ever forgive the people who slaughtered your family? in 1994, hundreds of thousands of Rwandan Hutus were incited to wipe out the country's Tutsi minority. From the crowded capital to the smallest village,local 'patrols' massacred ;lifelong friends and family members, most often with machetes and improvised weapons. Announced in 2001, and ending this year, the government put in place the Gacaca Tribunals (pr. Ga-TCHA-tcha) - open-air hearings with citizen-judges meant to try their neighbors and rebuild the nation. As apart of this experiment in reconciliation, confessed genocied killers are sent home from prison, while traumatized survivors are asked to forgive them and resume living side-by-side. Filming for close to a decade in a tiny hamlet, award-winning filmmaker Anne Aghion has charted the impact of Gacaca on survivors and perpetrators alike. Through their fear and anger, accusations and defenses, blurry truths, inconsolable sadness, and hope for life renewed, she captures the emotional journey to coexistence. |

DVD |

In this program, ABC News correspondent Judy Muller reports on the quality of life along the international border between El Paso and Juarez since the implemntation of NAFTA. Apart from business opportunities for Americans, employment for Mexicans, and low-priced goods for both the U.S. and Mexico, the downside of NAFTA is becoming all too apparent: worsening living conditions in Juarez and increasing levels of air and water pollution on both sides of the border. The program concludes with a discussion between anchor Ted Koppel and Fernando Macias, leader of a consortium of American and Mexican officals charged with managing change along this new economic frontier. |
