Principal country concerned : Column : Cinema/tv

The story of Edouard Sebushumba, who was appointed by the government from 1982 to 1994, as Mayor of the GITI district. Like any other senior leader, he was, during the mass genocide that rocked Rwanda in 1994, supposed to execute the government's plan to exterminate Tutsis - a plan that he opposed.

The 1994 nation-wide genocide of Tutsis in Rwanda claimed an estimated one million lives, but the Hutu residents of Giti, a small Rwandan village, stood against all odds and refused the government's call to participate in the slaughter of their Tutsis friends, family and neighbours.
