The Rwandan Genocide: The Long Way Home (Part 7)
Manage episode 473698632 series 3532264
Rwanda stands as perhaps the most profound case study in how societies rebuild after unimaginable trauma. When the genocide ended in July 1994, the new government faced a challenge that seemed impossible: create justice when 800,000 were dead, rebuild social trust when neighbors had murdered neighbors, and forge a shared future when the past was still bleeding.
Through intimate stories of Rwandans navigating impossible moral terrain, this episode explores what happens after the unimaginable – when justice, truth, survival and coexistence must somehow be balanced. Listen and witness one of history's most challenging and instructive examples of a nation finding its long way home.
