"Een uitgebluste priester en een jonge idealistische Engelse leraar raken betrokken bij de genocide in Rwanda in 1994 en moeten kiezen: vluchten of helpen."
"1994. Joe Connor, a gap year student looking for adventure, travels to Rwanda, a country on the brink of catastrophe. Teaching at a local school, he strikes up a friendship with a young Tutsi girl, Marie, nurturing her talents as an athlete. But Joe's dreams of helping Marie build a brighter future are shattered as the ethnic tension between warring tribes, the Tutsis and the Hutus, erupts into genocide. As the killing escalates, UN troops move in to evacuate all Europeans. Joe is reluctant to go; reluctant to abandon his new-found friends and betray the promises he has made. But, with the machete-wielding Hutu militia closing in, to stay means almost certain death."
""Rwanda, le 6 avril 1994. L'assasinat du président Habyarimana marque le début du génocide. Plus d'un million de Rwandais Tutsi sont massacrés par leurs concitoyens Hutus en seulement 100 jours. Le petit pays africain est transformé en charnier, la barbarie est inimaginable. Un prêtre catholique et un jeune enseignant anglais, pris dans le chaos, tentent de sauver les tsutsi réfugiés dans la mission en présence des forces de l'ONU, qui ont uniquement pour but l'évacuation des ressortissants étrangers."
"The story, based on real events, concerns the 1994 Rwandan genocide: "Joe Connor has come to teach in Rwanda because he believes he can make a difference. When the school becomes a haven for thousands of Rwandans fleeing the escalating violence, Joe promises his brightest pupil, Marie, that the UN soldiers will protect her from the hordes of extremist militia baying for blood outside the school. But when the UN abandons the refugees, Joe and the school's headmaster, Father Christopher, face an agonising dilemma: should they leave or should they stand firm with the Rwandans?"--Container."
