Reel Progress and HBO welcome this month's feature film, Sometimes in April, written and directed by Raoul Peck. Sometimes in April is a gripping drama inspired by true events surrounding one of history’s darkest chapters: the 100 days of the Rwandan genocide in 1994.
This extraordinary film tells the story of the Rwandan genocide by tracing the lives of two brothers - one in the military, one a radio personality – whose lives and country are changed overnight in unimaginable ways.
Both an edge-of-the-seat thriller and a chilling reminder of man's incomprehensible capacity for cruelty.
A gripping story of bravery in the face of daunting odds that reveals the West's inaction to the million Rwandans being killed.
One nation, decimated by ethnic rage. Two brothers, divided by marriage and fate.
