<p> <br /><b>RWANDA: DO THE SCARS EVER FADE PART 1 OF 3</b> <br /><br />In 1994, the small African country of Rwanda was awash in blood. Extremists in the majority Hutu-controlled government organized a systematic genocide of Rwanda's minority Tutsi population. In just 100 days, more than 800,000 were killed. The atrocity was halted a decade ago, but for Rwandans the ordeal does not yet have an ending. <br /><br />Today, the physical scars sustained by survivors are fading, but emotional scars remain. <b>Rwanda: Do Scars Ever Fade?</b> explores the country's turbulent pre-genocide history, the horrifying 1994 slaughter and the difficult ten-year, post-genocide period during which the current government has embarked upon an ambitious effort aimed at reconciliation. <br /><br />The program grapples with a perplexing question: How does a country haunted by the scourge of its past recover?</p><center> <br />Producer - Paul Freedman <br />Director - Paul Freedman <br />Release Date - 2005 <br /></center> <br /><p></p>
