In 1994, during Rwanda's civil war, members of the Hutu majority butchered 800.000 Tutsis in some three months. Abetting the genocide were radio broadcasts that kindled public hatred for and called for a massacre of Tutsi neighbors. This program follows a young man who is one of the first 130.000 Hutus held on genocide charges to be released, three years after the bloodshed. Through accounts given by the young man, forced to murder his elder sister's children, and family interviews, the program studies the chilling reality of media manipulation that drove neighbors to kill each other from the perspective of those who committed the atrocities.
