This World: Rwanda's Untold Story
Journalist Jane Corbin returns to the 1994 Rwandan genocide, in which roughly one million people were killed in about a hundred days, to press on parts of the story that official accounts have left settled. She starts with the still-unresolved shooting down of President Juvenal Habyarimana's plane, the spark that triggered the killing, and follows evidence and testimony pointing toward possible involvement by Paul Kagame's own forces rather than only Hutu extremists. Corbin interviews sources willing to allege war crimes committed by the Rwandan Patriotic Front during and after the genocide, claims that sit uneasily against Kagame's standing as the leader credited with ending the slaughter. The film does not dispute that the genocide happened or minimize its scale; it questions who bears responsibility for specific killings and whether Kagame's government has been shielded from scrutiny it deserves. Corbin's reporting treats Rwanda's official narrative as one version among several, built from interviews and on-the-ground investigation rather than archival recap.
