A Time for Reflection



In this clip, Amir and I discuss our reasons for doing the film and reflect on a number of themes including:

How much are we obligated to own our country's involvement in the genocide, especially given how young we were in 1994?  Why are some of our Rwandan friends choosing to leave the country for the commemoration events?  What is the significance of Holy Week coinciding with the week of mourning and commemoration?  How do we approach the complexities of the church's involvement in the genocide and its continued role in wider Rwandan society?

And finally, how can we look to Rwanda for strength as we face our own challenges in the current financial crisis and how are the two situations related and different?
