SOMETIMES IN APRIL-Hutu brothers at odds over genocide of Tutsi countrymen--DVD

Description: SOMETIMES IN APRIL starring IDRIS ELBA, DEBRA WINGER Color Running time approximately 140 minutes LANGUAGE: English SUBTITLES: English, French, Spanish In April 1994, over the course of 100 days, almost 800,000 people lost their lives during a purge by Hutu nationalists against their Tutsi countrymen in the African nation of Rwanda. Based on true events, this gripping and inspiring drama tells the story of two brothers divided along political lines by the conflict, and details the extraordinary courage and perseverance exhibited by the people of Rwanda. A clear-eyed look at the Rwandan genocide is offered in SOMETIMES IN APRIL, a frank take on the 1994 slaughter that claimed upwards of 800,000 lives. Idris Elba pieces together the past tragedy from the perspective of a decade-later war-crimes tribunal where his brother is on trial. Indescribable human atrocities are shown that took place a decade ago through the story of two Hutu brothers -- one in the military, one a radio personality -- whose relationship and private lives were forever changed in the midst of the genocide. It's hard to know which is less bearable -- the depiction of atrocities, such as murder at a girls school, or the second guessing of the international community, which largely stood by while the horror was unfolding.
