  • ""Kigali, avril 1993. Les tensions raciales dans la ville s'accroissent, ce que peine toutefois à remarquer Joe Connor, principal instituteur de l'École Technique Officielle (ETO) dirigée par le Père Christopher. Lorsque le conflit éclate, les deux hommes ouvrent les grilles de l'école afin d'accueillir dans son enceinte les réfugiés tutsis fuyant les Hutus. Aussitôt, les casques bleus de l'ONU y pénètrent à leur tour, afin de garder en respect les centaines de miliciens, armés de machettes, qui encerclent l'école. Par tous les moyens, Joe et son supérieur tentent de les convaincre d'ouvrir le feu sur les assaillants, mais en vain. En attendant l'ordre d'évacuer, le désespoir et le manque de vivres accentuent la pression, déjà intolérable, que vivent les assiégés."--Site web Cinoche."
  • "A powerful re-telling of the actual events of Rwanda's 1994 genocide. At first, life is relatively calm at Rwanda's Ecole Technique Officielle, a European-run secondary school where UN peacekeepers provide protection for students and refugees alike, in a country scarred by historically warring factions. And a wise if world-weary Catholic priest is an apt spiritual guide for an idealistic young teacher. But when Hutu militia launch a bloody attack on the school, the two men must search their faith and decide whether to face death amongst the refugees or flee for safety."@en
