In Rwanda we say the family that does not speak dies

"Two years [after the Gacaca tribunals] ... close to 16,000 of these [genocide] suspects, still untried, are released across the country. Having confessed to their crimes, and having served the maximum sentence the Gacaca tribunals would eventually impose, perpetrators of appalling crimes are sent home to plow fields and fetch water alongside the people they victimized. 'In Rwanda we say' ... focuse[s] on the release of one suspect, tracking the effect of his return on a tiny hillside hamlet. While the government's message of a 'united Rwandan family' permeates the language of the community, the imposed co-existence brings forth varying emotions, from numb acceptance to repressed rage. Violence seems to lurk just below the surface." -- Website.

""Over several years filmaker Anne Aghion traveled to rural Rwanda, to chart the progress of its ethnic reconciliation programs. This film continues her quest to learn how the human spirit survives the traumatic effects of the 1994 genocide of the Tutsi minority, which claimed 800,000 lives in 100 days.""
